Christmas Eve Nativity

We did our traditional Nativity this year. We had a small group, but we made it work.
Taylor and Katie were the new couple, so they were Mary and Joseph. Cessna was the pretty Angel. Heather and Lance were the shepherds. And Mom was the ass- I mean donkey :)

Mary and Joseph

The group

Mary on the donkey riding into Bethlehem- Lance wonders who is under there?

Cessna proclaiming the good news.

Heather was so afraid- Lance and Grandma playing peek a boo :0)

Heather listening to Cessna announce the Holy Birth.


Lance stole the baby and brought it to Mom to show her baby Jesus.

We hope everyone had a chance to reflect on the Savior's Birth this holiday season.

How cute! I love that Katie and Taylor participated!! I too loved doing that growing up and think it is great you keep the tradition alive, mom! We watched a video of the Nativity and Robby loved it and has watched it everyday since.
