Larson Family Traditions

I think that Christmas traditions are what makes it really fell like a holiday. My family has a few, but as we are getting older and have not yet produced the next generation, the traditions really just arent the same. The Larson family however will infinitely have babies around and so they have some very fun Christmas traditions. This year we were in Snowflake with Eldons family for Christmas and got to take part in the fun.

It all Starts off with making "Spudnuts" these are homemade doughnuts that taste like Krispie Creams! They are so good!!!!

Next is the White Elephant gift exchange. There rules are pretty lax, so the gifts range from really nice like a printer or money to candy to toilet seat covers and this year had a great gag gift! Eldon's brother Brett recently had to have his appendix out, he was pretty drugged and walking around in his hospital gown with the back open. His wife took a picture of him from behind. It got framed and put into the set! It was so funny! I almost got stuck with it, but my mother in law saved me and I ended up with a battery operated fart noise maker! not sure which was worse of the two really!

Next is the nativity. The little kids really have fun with this one. Grandma Larson has lots of great dress up clothes! Someone reads from the scriptures and the little ones act it out. Baby Payten even played Baby Jesus and she didnt even cry!

After the nativity is the program....the nieces and nephews all show off their talents like singing, playing the piano, or even doing a little skit.

There is always time for family and just hanging around as well! Or dancing:)

then kids get to open one present (the Christmas Jammies of course)

It was lots of fun and we are so glad we got to be there to participate in it! We hope that everyone had as much fun as we did!
