Christmas Eve

Each year we spend Christmas Eve with the Cox family. It is really fun for the kids. Normally they have Santa come and bring the kids a stocking, but this year he couldn't make it. We had a nice dinner, followed by the kids acting out the Nativity, while Mark read they scripture of the birth of our Savior. Brooklyn and Brynlee made cute little Shepherds, and Jace was cute little baby Jesus. I love being reminded of why we really celebrate Christmas. I am grateful that my kids are starting to learn the real meaning of Christmas. If you ask Brooklyn and Brynlee why we have Christmas, they would tell you "Because It's Jesus birthday." After the Nativity, the kids got to open presents from Steven's grandparents. They girls got sleeping bags, which they are so excited about. They will love taking them to sleepovers, and will be able to use them when we go camping this summer. Jace got a cute little bear that giggles, and he has had so much fun with it. He is really getting interested in everything. After the party was over, we came back home to let the kids open their Christmas PJ's. We had Jace open his first, he was so cute. I had him help me rip the paper and he let out a cute little laugh like he knew what was going on. Next Brynlee opened hers, and was so excited for her Princess Sophia Jammies. She yelled out "Oh thank you I love them." Finally Brooklyn opened hers. She is so funny. She said "Why you give me these, I like them, why you give me these." Haha my kids each show their own personality, and I love it. I sure love my family!
