The festivities in the Perkin's family start Christmas eve around 10am. Unfortunately, things were a little busy that day for (K&T perk) so we didn't actually get over to headquarters till around 4pm. The whole Perk family headed over to the Free Methodist Church for a Christmas Eve service at 5pm. It was filled with singing and the lighting of the Christ candle. Everyone in the church (seemed like 500 people) had their own candle and Pastor Denny lights his candle from the Christ candle and then the light is passed down the pews till the whole church is filled with candle light. The service ended with everyone singing "Joy to the World," it still gives me goose bumps :)
We all headed back to the Perkins headquarters to enjoy a fabulous meal made by the one and only Jeannie Perkins. We had Prime Rib, double baked potatoes, green beans with bacon, a beautiful salad and rolls galore! Mimi and Rich were even invited to join us from Oxnard! It was nice having a couple new crew members around :) After dinner, we played "Screw your neighbor" of course to see who did the dishes... The evening was sooo wonderful that I only actually took one picture of the beautiful table setting.
