We moved the Marker Christmas party up a couple weeks to accommodate having the Williams family there with us. Friday afternoon we got together at the Garden's retirement home and put on a short program for the residents there. Many of the grandchildren had a musical number prepared. We sang carols and passed out candy canes.
We had our usual Marker family dinner and sing-along. The children enjoyed playing with each other. Uncle Kevin taught the boys "Marker Ball" a game he made up. They had a great time together playing all sorts of games including "Ninja", Risk, Killer Bunnies, and Cranium. The ornament theme this year was music. We sang songs, shared a scripture and story. All the kids were excited about the big sleep over at grandmas house and watched the Polar Express.
Saturday morning, after breakfast we gathered around the tree for our gift giving. In the afternoon the adults went to see Sherlock Holmes in the theater. On the way home we drove around the park to see all the Christmas lights and houses.
