These kids could hardly wait to jump into the pool! After all, that IS what we love about Grandma's house, it is within walking distance to the pool, no matter the weather, we WILL swim!
Emma and Bridget hang out in the kiddie pool.
Tanner, Bayli and Bridget relax in the big pool.After a big day at the pool, it was time for some more traditional Christmas Eve activities, starting with a yummy dinner of Clam Chowder and Broccoli soup in bread bowls, followed by the opening of our new jammies...
Tanner gets sports, of course...
Bayli takes a peek at her new pj pants, which ended up being too short. She got to pick out some more later that night.
Tucker, Bridget, and Brightyn sport their new jammies. Tucker's are race cars and Brightyn and Bridget got Tinker Bell.The girls put together a silly dance to perform for the rest of the crowd. They make up the funniest dances and ONLY in St. George! There's just something about this place that brings out the adventure in all of us!
Rockin' to the Jingle Bell Rock...
No dance is complete without the unique "guitar leg" move!
After the entertainment, we played a game about Christmas that Matt put together. Each person rolled the dice and if they landed on a certain number had to choose a paper from the bowl and do whatever it said. Some had to look up scriptures, some share favorite memories and some had to answer questions about Christmas. Tucker and Bridget really got into it!
And the last activity of the evening was the reenactment of the Nativity. The kids really got into their roles and enjoyed getting dressed up. Tanner was Joseph, Emma was Mary, Bridget was the Angel, Haili was the donkey (who bucked poor Mary off), Bayli was the Wise Man, and Tucker was the Shepherd, baby Jesus was Brightyn. It was super cute and a fun way to end the night and get everyone ready for Christmas the next day!
Beautiful angel listens as her dad reads from Luke...
Mother Mary with her precious baby...
