Christmas Dinner with the Rices





We had our friends the Rices over for dinner tonight to celebrate Christmas. We had a WONDERFUL time. The kids had a total blast running around the house playing and dressing up. Brieanne made a roast with delicious gravy and Craig and I made baked potatoes, green beans, salad, and an apple crisp. YUM!! Everything was perfect! Before we ate, we lit our fourth Advent candle and read our verse and sang "Silent Night." After dinner, we used our new nativity set to tell the Christmas story. We read from Helaman 14 from the Book of Mormon when Samuel prophesied of Christ's birth and then we read in Luke 2 and Matthew 2 telling of His birth, the angels, the shepherds and the wise men. We sang lots of songs to go with the different parts. We had a wonderful night! What a blessing my friend Brieanne is to me!!
