Our Christmas Nativity

Blake was the cutest, sweetest Joseph. He kept his hand on Tatum's back the whole time.

We sang songs during the Christmas program.

The Narrators... Grandama Mag and Grandma




Playing the Bells- Everyone gets a bell and a nail and we sing Christmas songs and play the bells. We have done this every Christmas since I was a little girl.



WE always end the night singing 12 Days of Christmas as fast as possible!!!! This is definatly the highlight of the night!
Every Christmas Eve we get together with the Magnussons! It is a great tradition we have done since I was very little. We have a fabulous dinner, put on the Christmas Nativity program (Julz you do a fantastic job!), play the bells, sing songs, eat treats and have a great time!!!!! This year was a little different because Grandpa Mag was not there. It was sad to have him gone but we know we will see him again.
