dinner christmas eve

We enjoyed our time with the Lamberts and the missionaries. I was surprised to learn that in Scotland, where Leon and Myra grew up, they never had Christmas trees in their home. Both of them remembered their fathers decorating the living area with streamers and such. It had been many years since the Lamberts had enjoyed crackers at dinner and the missionaries didn’t know about this English tradition. We talked about favorite Christmas memories. Brianna reminded us of the years that I gave her a yard of numerous colors of fabric and her dad used one of them as a superman style cape to play with her. She loved creating stories and costumes with her fabric.
