Christmas Eve with Joshua's family

Joshua's family has a tradition of a small gift exchange on Christmas Eve, where the presents are hidden - not underneath the tree. A series of clues takes the recipient on a treasure hunt to find the gift. Here are a few photos of the night.

Clarissa received a CD: "Sing along with Disney Princesses"

Matt received a deck of playing cards. Each card is a poster from a Star Wars movie.

Josh and Matt checking out the posters from all over the world - on Matt's playing cards.
In the image below you can see the "Y" students celebrating their new "Y" pajamas.

Miss Ashley found her present: a Princess bubble lamp night light.



After the gift exchange we had a Christmas program prepared by Ashley and her father, that included scriptures from the old and new world, poetry and singing Christmas Hymn. (Clarissa wasn't asleep).
