Christmas Eve growing up always meant heading over to Grandma and Grandpa Seals with all of my 20 some-odd cousins, eating yummy food, singing Christmas songs, the nativity put on by all the grand kids, a visit from Santa (which amazingly enough my grandpa was always in the bathroom during that time), and the fun/odd talents that were shared (my favorite was always the wrapping paper/paper towel cardboard songs the Himmers came up with.)
Well as the families are all getting bigger, Grandma's house just can't hold all 10 aunts/uncles, 26+cousins and spouses and all 26+ great-grandchildren. So each of the families does there own Christmas Eve.
This year was the start of the Parks gathering with the 3 kids and spouses, and 6 (almost 7) grand kids.
Crazy how big we are getting.
This year with the added 3 grand kids we were able to put on our version of the nativity, and we were lucky enough to have Grandma Seal with us as well as Lisa's parents.
Joseph and Kayla were Mary and Joseph...
Ali was the angel and Carson, Audrey and Jordan were the Wisemen...next year we will have a shepard :)
and Jordan took her role as Wisemen very seriously, it was very sweet.
She looks so great!! She must of traveled far ...it looks like maybe Mexico ?? :)
