Chirstmas Eve at the Newbold's

We spent this Christmas Eve with Bryce's family. It was so much fun! We started out with dinner...different soups, bread bowls, veggies, and of course lots of desserts!! :) Then we cleared out the tables and had a fun little Christmas program. Each child held up a letter and read aloud a little paragraph that pertained to that letter and Christmas...So CUTE!

Then each of the kids reenacted the nativity. Oakley was the Angel, and Kaybree was a sheep! The kids really enjoyed this!
Grandma then read a story to the kids about a boy who got a new coat for Christmas. The boy knew that his friend didn't own a coat at all, and since this boy had an old coat, he gave his new coat to his friend. I can't remember the name of the book, but I will find it out! It was really a great message about giving to others in need. Something the kids could really understand!

Of course you can't leave out presents. That was the last thing that we did. We opened everything from Grandma and Grandpa and cousins! It was a wonderful night!
