The festivities continued...Christmas Eve

After decorating sugar cookies, everyone (the Price family, Grandpa and Grandma Snow and Kathryn) headed over to our house to celebrate Christmas Eve. After a yummy dinner of fried turkey, thanks to Casey and Tyler, Casey and Grandpa showed the kids where Santa was delivering presents.

A tradition that we do every Chrismas Eve is have the kids put on a play about the night that Jesus was born. In the cast we have Tyler as the donkey, Jackson as baby Jesus, Kathryn as Mary, Emily as a shepard, Whitney as a wiseman, and Hailey as the angel. They all did wonderful!
Since Grandpa and Grandma would be at the Price's on Christmas morning, the kids opened one of their presents - brand new homemade blankets from Grandma Snow. Everyone has been sleeping with their new blankets plus the ones she made them when they were born ever since!

We always did that play growing up, too. Maybe it is a Taylor tradition. So fun to read and see your pics.

I especially liked Tyler's costume...the sock over the head really portrayed a very convincing donkey. I feel like I was transported back into old Bethlehem, and could almost hear the cattle lowing. Wish we were there. Too bad there weren't any cats in the stable, cause Michelle would have been a shoe-in.
