Christmas Eve at Grandma B.'s
we performed the Nativity story. I found an article in the paper with a script that was part scripture and part summarizing. For our first time, it went pretty well.
Our cast:
Mary = Jess
Joseph = Andrew
Jesus = Grant
the Angel = Grandma B.
The Three Wise Men = Luke
Dustin
Nathan
Shepherds = Tyson
Sawyer
Narrator = Laura

We used robes and receiving blankets as costumes and improvised the manger with a basket and the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh with a Coke bottle, a golden(yellow) mug and a red box full of gold nuggets(chocolates). Grant was Jesus because he's the only baby right now (and because he's almost perfect.).

It was a truly memorable evening. Beside having dinner with crackers (an English tradition), decorating sugar cookies and a scavenger hunt for gifts, we exchanged gifts. The cousins gave small gifts to each other and the adults did a gift exchange. Dustin and I received Cracker Jacks and a gift card to Target and sock monkey slippers. Luke and Grant received p.j.'s from Sawyer and a toy from Andrew and Tyson.
Grandma B. had some small gifts for all the kids. Dustin received the really cool gloves specifically for iPhones and some salsa. Laura got some bath salts that Grandma B. made herself.
And of course Santa dropped off magic pajamas for the kids. These are pajamas to help them sleep while Santa delivers all the toys.
