Phippen Family Christmas Party

As well as the cousin gift exchange each family provides a Christmas song or story. Nancy read us a delightful poem she had composed. Bob and Levi pounded out The Little Drummer Boy on their thighs. Roger played us a few carols on his guitar and GiGi and PaPa, (my mom and dad) did the jitter bug. The highlight of the program, although Roger's carol's had my Mom in tears, was the Van Brocklin family's reenactment of the Nativity Story. Nica played Mary, Britti was the angel, Dani and Stacy were the Wisemen, Levi (honorary Van Brocklin) was Joseph, Lynn was the narrator and Ryan, while video taping, was the shepherd. (He borrowed GiGi's cane)
