This Christmas Eve we had dinner at Nicholas' parents house. We were missing a few this year, but Aunt Chelsea & Matt, Aunt Hannah & Uncle Caiden, and Aunt Emily were all there. This year it was a seafood menu. After dinner it's tradition to reenact the nativity. It's Grandma Lyn's rule that once you have a baby to take your place, you no longer have to choose a role. Nicholas is the only one so far to give her grand babies, so it's fun to see the older kids still dressing up. Lexi & Adam always have fun picking which role to play. They usually try on all the outfits before they decide. Here are a few pictures of everyone dressed up.
Lexi: Angel Adam: Donkey
Adam: Roman Soldier Alex: Wise Man
Lexi: Shepherd
Adam: Shepherd
Chelsea: Angel
Matt: Roman Soldier
Emily, Lexi & Adam: Shepherds
Matt: Roman Soldier, Lexi/Adam/Emily: Shepherds, Clancey/Alex: Wise men, Andrew: Donkey, Alizabeth: Mary, Chelsea: Angel
I enjoy this Christmas tradition. It's a reminder of why we celebrate this season. It's not the presents, lights, or food. It's the birth of Our Savior & a time to remember all he sacrificed for us. We have been very blessed, & I am so thankful.
