I know I say it every year and I will say it again. I love my family and I love the Summers Family Christmas Eve Party. It is the one time a year I am able to see most of my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. We have had this traditional party for as long as I can remember. More and more people have been added to the family over the years. We always have great food and great company.
Aiden played Joseph this year in the Nativity and little Emmitt played Jesus. Erik was a wiseman and Analeigh was suppose to be a shepherd, but that didn't go so well.
The little Nativity. We do one every year while we read the account of the Saviors birth in Luke. This year everyone involved was one of Papa and Mom's Grandchildren except Mary, played by Addie, Uncle Gordon's Grandchild.
The true reason for Christmas and all the celebrations. I am so thankful for my Savior, that he came to this earth, and that we are able to celebrate every year as a BIG family!
It has only taken almost 2 years but I finally got a picture of me with my little girl Analeigh, my mommy Leigh, and her mommy Emma Nila. I will treasure this picture for always!
Becca and Samantha are joined at the hip whenever they're together.
It has been getting harder for Grandma and Grandpa to go to the party as they are get older. Grandma always says "it's hell to get old." I am so glad they are still here. Even when Grandma is mean she is still Grandma, full of fun. I love them sooooo much!
We love Grandma and Grandpa!

Uncle Gordon was in charge this year and did a great job. He also performed his "The Night Behind Christmas". It is awesome every year! This year the dogs names all rhymed with Bubba courtesy of Josh.
Aunt Lori recited a poem that she memorized as a child.
Addie and her Mommy Heidi singing.
Twisty Bendy little Haleigh.
Emma playing her guitar and singing her version of "The Night Before Christmas" it was AWESOME!
Taylor and Chelsea played their violins. They have been playing since they were teeny tiny.
Uncle Robert and his son Marc sang Silver Bells while Katelyn played the piano.
Andrew, Emmaleigh, and Melinda sang a song from the Operetta. Andrew was Santa this year. I watched the recording later. They all did such a good job!

This year Aiden and Erik participated in the display of talents! I was so excited that they finally wanted to show other people how well they sing. They sang Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Towards the end of the song they forgot the words and felt a little silly but they stayed up there and finished it to the end. I was so PROUD! Gordon wanted to help them sing as well. We love our cousins.
Wonderful Papa and his littlest Grandbaby... At least for a little while:)
Analeigh LOVED Uncle John. She went over and sat right down on his lap! He had to ask me if she was mine. She certainly made a friend. He followed her around for the next 30 minutes making sure she had everything she wanted and that she was safe:)
Silly Uncle Chandler and Aunt Jennica.
All the girls love Uncle Josh!
Such spoiled kids with such loving Aunts like Candi and Jennica.
Awesome Uncle Jordan with his daughter Madaleigh.
