We invited all the missionaries for Christmas Eve. I made Chilean food. We barbecued...oh well,... tried!... I wanted to have a Chilean Christmas dinner...but I forgot that in Chile is summer and here ..WINTER, -10 degrees sooo...not the greatest idea to even try to light the BBQ because it was frozen!... Kyle lit the barbecue and it caught on fire...oops! It was pretty late at that time and the missionaries were almost here. I had to come up with an idea...so I decided to put the meat in my wok...it didn't work!...the elders were here already...so Kyle came to the rescue!...Meanwhile Mimi and Kayla kept bugging me to open the presents!!...everything was going wrong....and I wanted to kill the cat I didn't have at that point!. Oh well, Kyle barbacued with charcoal, it took longer and the elders had to wait but it worked fine. I learned that no more Chilean BBQ for Christmas in USA. The food was great and I was happy ...the girls? not really, they still wanted to open presents and the "meany mom" said : "noooooot yet!"...then our spiritual moment, wasn't "that" spiritual trying to keep Jack from stealing baby Jesus from the nativity, the girls trying to sneak out with a present...etc,etc,etc.
We finally finished with the "white elephant present exchange". It was really fun and funny!. I was happy that everybody was gone at 8:00pm. and after a few minutes our girls went to bed !!!...Santa needed to come so they didn't have any problem falling asleep. Thank you so much Santa!...I need it a break!.
