On Christmas Eve we went to Leah and Bob's house (my in laws) and we had a wonderful dinner and re-enacted the Nativity. Leah sat down with the ceramic nativity and told the story to all the children (my favorite quote of the night was when Gma said "do you know what an inn is?" and Nick answered, "it's like a hotel or maybe a motel"). Then the kids re-enacted the nativity, they get dressed up with towels and ties and pillowcases, this year we had 2 angels (Lindsey and Kiley Jane), 2 Mary's (Maddie and Jordan), 4 wise men (Josh, Collin, Clay and Nick), Cregan was the Shepherd and Scott was Joseph, Baby Jesus was a baby doll. After that we sang songs, Cregan always has to do a solo of course... a future rock star and all :)
Shortly after we headed home and let the kids open their pajamas and took their picture in front of the tree. They headed off to bed, and Clay was so excited he exclaimed that he wasn't going to be able to sleep at all that night, and guess what he was the first one out!!
