Thursday morning, we loaded up the kids in the car and started our trek down the Richfield. Cory and Sharon met us at the house and then we were off. As we were pulling out of the driveway, Cory came running to the window with a bag and informed us that they were for the kids. So I tossed the bag back to Jeremy and he and Bailee opened their gift. What was it you ask? Well, let me show you: 
You mean you don’t know what those are? What else could they be but a cow that moo’s and a pig that oinks “Jingle Bells!!” Yup, Cory was SO THOUGHTFUL to make sure that Jeremy and Bailee had something to play over and over and over during the hour and a half trip down to Richfield. That’s not all, I haven’t got to the best part. Both the pig and cow poop bubble gum!!! Ya, you heard me right, POOP. I have been so touched by this thoughtful gift that I feel inclined to return the favor, and in the near future. So watch out Payson Morrills, the war has begun. I see recorders and drum sets and play dough in your futures.
Anyhow, back to the drive down. 
We made it to Richfield and were greeted by Family, Food, and Fun. After the feast was over, we gathered in the living room for some Christmas Festivities. Jeremy and Bailee began by singing, “What Shall I Give To the Baby.”
Then each of us got up and said a gift that we would give to the Savior over the coming year. Bailee said her gift would be singing. Jeremy said his gift would be Missionary Service. My gift was time. Matt’s gift was Temple Service. After we went through each family, we got ready to perform the Nativity. Jeremy was excited because he was going to be Joseph. Bailee, however, was absolutely NOT going to be Mary. After calming her down, she was content to be an angel: 
Then, after a few Christmas stories, we were visited by Santa!! All the kids lined up youngest to oldest: 
Once Santa had talked to everyone, he was on his way and the presents emerged. 
Grandma Cindy gave Bailee a princess computer, Jeremy got a halter and truck and trailer, I got a picture that says Morrill and Matt got a carhart coat. Then, it was time to hit road. It was a great day!! Merry Christmas!!!

That sounds and looks like lots of fun. Look out Cory and Sharon, when Abby says its war you never know what hit you.
Yes never let your gard down Sharron. Matter of fact I would start planning your next revenge so that you are prepared. Glad you all had a great time!!!
The kids were so wired and excited by the end of the day. Then, all of the sudden around 9:00, they hit the wall and were dragging their knuckles on the floor saying that they were so tired. We promptly put them to bed. It was great.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked the gifts we gave you.
We really did have a great time at the Morrills Christmas Party! It went very well. It was so cute to watch Jeremy and Bailee sing. They did awesome!
What a good time you guys had. Looks like a lot of fun. I to have to say be careful. They totally live up to their word, just be careful.
AWESOME!! Well I can't give you my gift now cause we were going to buy you a singing pig. They beat us to it! So that's GREAT!! Way to go Sharon! We will give you a break until next year!
