What I love about Brent's family is that they are a BIG family! There are so many of us when we get together. I also love that they don't do presents. The focus is family and Jesus' birth. All the cousins are assigned a new part each year to the Nativity play. This year, Ezra was a Shepard Emersyn was Mary and Elynn was an angel. Each year, we have been able to add lines to the play. There are 13 cousins and one on the way, so we pretty much can do the whole play. Sometimes, uncles have to play the part of the inn keeper and everyone sings. It is awesome and my kids LOVE IT!
