Mongolian BBQ

The Palmer's threw a fabulous family party on Christmas Eve. The Robinson's, Hedquist's, Park's, Shumway's, Lee's, Ben, Vanessa, Chris, & Steve joined the festivities. They had it catered by a Mongolian BBQ company, and it was SOOOOO delicious! Everyone else brought side-dishes or dessert. I cheated again and just brought Cream Puffs from Costco, but they were pretty yummy too!


We all mingled while we ate, then we did some fun activities. We all sang the 12 days of Christmas together with each family singing a different day's gift.


All of the children then acted out the Nativity story. Kaleb & Noe played Joseph and Mary. Isn't the baby Jesus cute? Mason was going to play that part, but he was sleeping, so puppy did a great job.


The kids played upstairs so the grown-ups could do a White Elephant gift-exchange. We ended up with the Walt Disney classic "The Tortoise and the Hare." The kids will love it!

The Palmer's also collected donations for an orphanage. I just love the Christmas season- celebrating with friends and helping others. What could be better?
