Live Nativity

This is the last part of the nativity. The three wise men, Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. I got a little teary eyes, I think because you realize a lot more how Mary felt once you have had your own child.

These are the angels that sang at Jesus's birth.

This is the donkey. They warned us to not get close because he kicks apparently.

This is the "no room in the inn" scene. It was pretty cool. They had high school kids that did the parts. It was the youth of a ward in Eagle that volunteered the whole thing. What a service.

The little purple blob with Steven is Kenzie. She was in the Bajorn wrapped up all tight inside his jacket. She just slept the whole time. It was like 7 degrees that night. It was freezing.

This is the camel that was at the very beginning. He was very friendly. You could go right up to him and pet him. It was pretty crazy.

This year we heard about this Live Nativity scene that is out in Eagle. It is actually out at my brother Ryan's best friend's house growing up. You arrive and go on a hay ride and stop at a gate that is made out of wood with a wise man and guards and a camel. They have parts they speak and lead you to different parts of the property for each part of the nativity story. It was really awesome to get the REAL feeling of Christmas this year. It is nice to be reminded. I hope we make this a tradition every year.
