Christmas Eve Traditions

Christmas Eve starts off the same every year for the last 4 years! We love it! First a family feast with all the fixin's:And spending time with cousins:Then we do the Nativity which I must say, every year it goes so smooth we just can't believe it!
The Narrator, Pappa:
Angels (Taylor, Myanna and Alissa):The Shepherds (Sarah, Me and Shantal):
The Sheep, Emma and Bella: (they played their part well! They never stopped "baaaa-ing the whole time!)
King Herod (Derek):
The donkey (Chris), Joseph (Darran), Mary (Lori) and Baby Jesus (Eliza):3 Wise Men (Kaden, Dean, Ethan):
All of us in our glory:
The cousins love exchanging gifts every year! Kaden and Eliza:
Bella and Emmy:
Ethan and Alissa:
Taylor and Myanna:
Then everyone opens up their Christmas Jammies:

And lastly, Santa makes a surprise visit!
Then we hurry home, try to get the kids settled down and get ready for an exciting morning!
