The best part of Christmas is our new Christmas eve traditions. I'm so grateful that Nate and Misty have invited me to join with them as I love sharing their awesome traditions with them. This picture shows most of the food. They put a blanket on the floor and we eat this meal that is intended to be similar to the food in Jesus' day. The hummus is my favorite! We help prepare the food and then eat.
The picture above shows the meal in progress.... One little accident occurred as Weston's water bottle fell into the hummus. Isn't he cute in the picture below, still willing to drink from it. He must love hummus as much as I do.
Casey was helping the pink horse give rides to the kids (above). They were taking turns and having a lot of fun. You can see from this picture that Casey was moving pretty fast.
This picture above shows the start of the Christmas eve activity held after dinner - acting out the Christmas story. We all drew slips of paper saying who we would be in the acting out scenes. Then Nate/Misty have a couple of boxes of dress up clothes so we could look our parts. You can see that Casey was trying to wear something too small for him but he was a good sport about it.
I think Brielle was a wise man. Nate was probably a shepherd but I've forgotten. Next year I'll have to keep notes.
I managed to get a cute picture of Jenna, Casey and Weston. Casey was Joseph and Jenna was a wise man. I think Weston was a shepherd. (above picture)Misty was our narrator. Elijah was baby Jesus.... (below)
The picture above shows "Mary and Joseph" headed to the Inn... Below, you can see that Elijah wasn't too happy about being born in a manager............
Our awesome wise man was giving baby Jesus a gift of myrrh in the picture above.
This is our group picture taken by Misty so she is missing. Charity was the inn keeper again this year but she didn't cause "Mary" to cry time. I was a sheep in case you are wondering.It was a really fun time and we were sure missing Jason and Ashley and their family...... wishing they could have joined us also.
