Christmas Traditions

I love Christmas time! And I especially love all our Christmas traditions! A little while before Christmas my family and I (the ones that live in Utah) got together and had our Family Christmas Party!

First we have a family gift exchange. How we do it can vary year to year from white elephant, to "pass the gift" story, to assigned people. This year each kid got assigned another one. Even Paige and Kylie got to join in the fun!

 Next it was time for the Nativity play! This is the BEST Christmas tradition ever! We have a "script" that mixes scriptures to tell the nativity story and Christmas songs to emphasise the points. Oh I just love it!!


Paige was the sheep! So ADORABLE!




Sydney was our Angel! Beautiful!




Love how the shepherd had to get bribed with M&Ms to sit in place.




The sheep wasnt too interested in what the Angel had to say, but Mary was. haha




Raygan was an Awesome Mary!




Now Paige is interested. => I just cant get enough of this baby!




Pretty soon after her "part" Paige discovered the Christmas tree lights and could not get enough of them




Brooklyn was a GREAT wiseman!

  I love Christmas and I am so glad we were able to get together and had a fun night of celebrating Christ! Normally we do all this and a little more on Christmas Eve, but it was GREAT to be able to think of Christ, and center Christmas around Him even more! Merry Christmas! =>
