Whenever we have Thanksgiving in Memphis, we usually celebrate Christmas in the same weekend! On Saturday, my little family went to Mom and Dad's house, where my sis's family and Cindy were staying. The kids were all in their new pjs and we ate yummy food and celebrated Christmas a little early!
We first decided to start a new tradition....before opening gifts, Papa read the Christmas story little by little while Meme helped the kids take turns placing the Biblical characters in the manger scene.
It was a little chaotic with 4 under age 5, but I say the earlier we start doing traditions like this, the BETTER! We are trying to instill in them the TRUE meaning of Christmas... CHRIST!
Meme helps James place the angel on the top :)
Dad asked the kids if any of them wanted to pray, and sweet little Anthony spoke up fast!
Here he is praying the most wonderful prayer you have ever heard a 4 year old pray. Anthony is very good with his words and that makes his prayers to his Jesus so special.
Lucas and Mel listening to Anthony's prayer.
Now time to open stockings!!!
And time to open gifts! Meme and Papa got Reese a Minnie Mouse that giggles. She absolutely loves it!
Michelle and Josh help the kiddos open some new shoes!
And the big gift was this cool race track where the cars have headlights. The kids loved it!
And I put Reese in her new Christmas dress from Meme and Papa. It was so precious on her! Wish I had a better picture!
