Christmas Eve Festivities

 Opening a gift on Christmas Eve is tradition...the gift being PJ's is also a tradition!  All of the cousins opened their gifts and tried on their pj's as soon as they opened them!! 
We always read the story of Christ's birth found in Luke.  This year Grandma made each family a Nativity packet with the stable and all of the animals, wise men, Mary, Joseph & Jesus for the kids to have a hands on experience while the story was being read.
After the reading of the first Christmas story Uncle Joel and Brinly started a dance/singing party with the cousins.  As you can see from the pictures above all of the Dad's got to dance too!!

Before bed time Jacob read The Night Before Christmas to all of the cousins.  Cookies and carrots were left out of Santa and then everyone quickly fell asleep :)
