A Higbee Family Christmas!

We celebrated Christmas a little early this year... 10 days to be exact. We all gathered at Jolie and Greg's for a delicious dinner and a program. We started with the nativity, planned by Aubrie. It was awesome, as usual, and the kids had a great time. 
The cast: Chris (Joseph), Afton (the Star), Abigail (Mary), 
Coleman (Baby Jesus), Cayden (Joseph/shepherd), 
and Emma (gangsta shepherd)
Dad reading the story from the Bible as Max gives a riveting (and quite amusing) performance of the Angel Gabriel.
Mom and Dad sang some of their favorite Hawaiian songs and we had performances by "the guys" singing 'We three Kings" and Abby and Afton sang 'Where are you Christmas". We also had and impromptu sing-a-long of many of the Higbee favorites.

Then we watched this (look for Jaremy):


and this:



Both were wonderful additions and really 
added to the spirit of the evening.

Love was in the air...
Jaremy brought Dani
Alyssa brought Dillon
and Zack brought Afton (what a great name).

Here are just a few more pictures:
Leisa, Mom, Coleman, and Grandma Doris
Cayden, Emma, Aubrie, and Connor
Greg and Jolie (thanks for hosting!)
and Matthew, looking dapper as always!

We also had the Webb family (they had to leave early or Katie's dance performance) and Aaron, Christopher, Troy and me (but I was behind the camera). I'm pretty sure that's it.

We really missed those of you who weren't there. 

Good food, family and fun... it was the perfect night. 
What a great way to celebrate the birth of our Savior!
