Last year my mom had the wonderful idea to make a new tradition of having the kids reenact the birth of Jesus. The kids love getting dressed up and all the girls want to be Mary. It's really precious to see their love of baby Jesus. Atley and Avery have always had a special affection for baby Jesus because they share the same birthday!
This year the kids we so excited to put on their costumes. My Mom found some great animal costumes, but they just need a little tweaking for next year. Brenley decided she wanted to be a dove bird, Canon was Joseph, Atley was an angel, Brooklyn was a donkey, Avery was Mary, and Champ was baby Jesus.
It didn't go quite as we had planned. We had a couple melt downs and with 6 kids 4 and under, their attention spans don't last very long. Once we got them into place we all sang Away in a Manger and Silent Night. It was a pretty sweet moment to stop and think about the real meaning of Christmas, the birth of the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

The cutest donkey I've ever seen!
Pretty dove bird flying in the air :)

Our sweet angel needed some lovin from her Daddy so I didn't get a picture of her.
Merry Christmas precious children!
