Every Christmas Eve, our family acts out the nativity, as Christian reads from the bible. We also take turns filling the various roles in the story.
Mom and Dad were Mary and Joseph this year.
Aleya wanted to be the Angel this year.
Amara wanted to be a shepherd with Joseph.
Curtain rod shepherd stick.
Orrin represented one of the three wise men.
It never goes off terribly smoothly, but it is an important tradition to continue.
The Angel loved baby Jesus.
Christian helped the kids finish the gingerbread house. We always like to add in leftover Halloween candy.
This year we added a musical Christmas train set to our Christmas decor. The kids had a lot of fun with it.
The kids opened up their new pajamas, again. It is an unhappy tradition for some (he'd rather get something else). The boys just received pajama pants this year. AND NOW . . . OFF TO BED! Actually the boys didn't finally fall asleep until around close to 11:30PM (talking in their room). That meant that I was up wrapping, surprisingly with Christian's help this time, until around 3:30AM. Ugh. I need to wrap more things ahead of time in the future. I'm getting too old for this.
