My family has come up with a new tradition, thanks to Shandra. We decided that Christmas Eve has become so busy that we wanted to take an entire night to focus on the Saviors birth. We also have 9 grand kids who are growing older each year and we wanted to get them acting out the nativity story. So Aunt Krista, compiled the script and we dressed the kids up in the best costumes we could find.
Mary (Kierra), Joseph (Conner), Cow (Sawyer), Sheep (Alayna)
Our adorable little Shepard was Jake! His costume was the hit of the night!!
Oh, the pink Unicorn was pretending to be a horse was played by Logan. Olivia was the Angel. The wise men were played by Kennady and Isaac.
The skit started out really rough and somewhat rambunctious but it was recovered shortly. They really did a great job for their first time around. Following the skit we watched The Nativity movie. My sister than had this cute idea to all write down our "gift" to the Savior for the upcoming year. It was so sweet to compile the entire families and then read them.
We then concluded the night with family prayer expressing our gratitude for our loving Savior and our love for Him. Because our little Jake is so adorable we had to take a picture of him participating in family prayer. I can't tell you how seeing him know how to kneel in prayer encourages me to have family prayer every day. The grumpy face is because he's trying to close his eyes! What a darling kid.
