This year for the family Christmas party, the Bohman boys did a soup cook-off. Each was responsible for making a soup and the sisters brought rolls and desserts. I was seriously impressed with the soups. They were all super yummy. Brett won the contest with his version of Aimee's cheesy vegetable soup while Todd and Brian came in a close second with their beef vegetable soup and chicken noodle soup. Jason or Steven would have won had the kids been allowed to vote because they made mac & cheese and tomato soup. After dinner was cleaned up, Mom insisted the grand kids act out the nativity even without the costumes. Tony did a modern day narration of Luke 2 and the kids loved it. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture, but Kali is Mary and she's riding on Dallin, the donkey.
Then we exchanged our family gifts. Kevin and Tanya gave us a couple of fun games and some much needed flashlights. I didn't get a picture of the girls playing with their flashlights, but they were a hit. Then Aimee had all the kids gather around and surprised us all by passing out presents that she had purchased for each one of them. They were such a hit. She bought the best gifts ever. Emma got a Dr. Seuss board book and a rattle. Ashlyn got a polar bear puppet and a bracelet with little snap on charms. Sadie got an octopus puppet and a bracelet with charms. And Kali got a Chinese jump rope and some chapstick. The kids were in heaven. It was such a thoughtful thing to do and so much fun for everyone.
The only sad thing was that everyone was there but Josh and Emma. Emma got sick the previous day and had been throwing up and fevering so Josh stayed home with her.
