A Christmas Musical Celebration with The Mike and Lisa Nelson Family

     Well, it's that time of year again! The best time of year when we celebrate the birth of our Savior. I am so excited for this season especially this year as we are finally here in Utah with family. We have missed them so much!  So, Mike and I have decided to start a new traditon that we are especially excited about. "A Christmas Muscial Celebration with the Mike & Lisa Nelson Family". This special celebration will be hosted by our family of course, and will be featuring our family as well as our immediate extended family members.

     It will be held the first Sunday after Thanksgivng and will be an opportunity to grow closer as a family and share the Christmas spirit with eachother. This night we will celebrate the birth of our Savior to kick off the Christmas season with special musical numbers and a few stories. Each person in attendance will have the opportunity to share some of thier talents with us Christmas style.  In addition to our immediate families we will be inviting a few special guests each year. To end the evening we will have a special christmas story told by one of the grandma's and then each person in attendance will recieve their first christmas bell of the season.  Afterwards we will share some christmas goodies. We are so excited to start this new tradtion. So, stay tuned to see how it went.

     Merry Christmas!

Regina telling stories....as usual

We played a fun game that Regina thought up.

Everyone put 2 things that they were thankful for in a jar.  Then we each took turns pulling one out and reading it and guessing who wrote it.  It took a while and it was a lot of fun.

Jim, Regina and Sophia sang some Phatom of the Opera songs for us.

Beautiful voices!

It was a great Thanksgivig Day!
