On Christmas Eve, we went up to Jake's brother's house in Idaho Falls to celebrate. We first had our dinner of food that Mary and Joseph would have eaten. We had fish, rice, flat bread, hummus, olives, nuts, fruit and lamb. It was really good. I really like it because it helps me to think about the time when Jesus was born.
After dinner, we did the Nativity. Tean wanted to be a shepherd this year.
He was a shepherd with his cousin Ben.
We tried to get Ziah to be King Herod, but he didn't want to keep the crown on his head for very long.
Before doing the Nativity we had to get a picture of everyone in their costumes.
Jake was the donkey again this year.
Tean had fun being the shepherd and listening to the angels tell about the birth of baby Jesus.
Ziah wanted in on the action of worshiping baby Jesus.
Ziah ended up playing Jesus as an infant when the wisemen came to see baby Jesus.
We had a great time acting out the Nativity. I love the Christmas season when we can remember Jesus, His birth, and everything the He did for us.
After acting out the Nativity, everyone got to choose one Christmas song to sing. Ziah just wanted to play with the tree and the presents during the singing. I love the spirit that the singing brings.
After singing, Tean and Ziah opened one present.
Ziah thought it was funnier to bang his head with his present instead of opening it.
Of course, they were pajamas.
We had a great time celebrating with family the birth of our Savior. I love everything about Christmas and am so thankful for all the blessings we have had this year in our family. I know the Lord has truly blessed us.
