Christmas Eve!

We were so excited to have lots of family to celebrate Christmas Eve with. Mendy and her family are in between houses right now, they just sold their house in Craig and our waiting to close on their house in Douglas Wyoming. So they were able to come to Utah for Christmas! Christmas Eve we all went over to my Aunt Colleen's house for a big dinner, a visit from Santa, and a nativity pageant. Brynlee did a great job as an Angel and Jacob and Isaac were great wisemen! We had a fun night celebrating Jesus and also getting some presents from Santa. Isaac was not quite sure what to think of Santa but did get brave enough to touch his hand. Later we went to Grandma Bird's to open Christmas PJ's and then hurried home to get to bed before Santa came. Jacob and Brynlee slept on the floor in Isaac's room so mom could finish up some presents in their rooms!After dinner we sang songs until Santa came. Brynlee loved dancing with her cousins to the Christmas songs. Here she and Payton are having a great time.

Brynlee getting her present from Santa!This is about as close as Isaac got! But he was brave enough to grab his present!
Isaac felt a little safer sitting by dad.
Brynlee is one of the special angels with her cousin Brooklin that announced Jesus' birth in our Nativity pageant.
Jacob and Isaac were wisemen. Jacob had some treasures for baby Jesus but felt they were safer hidden in his robe.
Isaac as a wisemen!

Thanks for sharing your Christmas Eve activities with us via your blog. I love the tradition of having a Nativity Pageant. Santa's visit is also fun; and next year Isaac will think so, too.
