Live Nativity

We went to the Larsen's Live Nativity in Alpine and we asked my family to come along. Teresa and her kids decided to come so it was fun! Here we all are riding in the back of a horse trailer from the church house up to the Nativity site.

We first saw Moses Abu---the camel and I think Kennedy was a little afraid of him from the look on her face. I always think the camel is one of the BEST things!

Landon, Jaycee, Dawson, Bailey Shawnee, Landon, Bailey, Kennedy, Kaylee

They also had other animals there---sheep, donkeys, a little pony and horses

They added Roman Soldiers this year that was neat. They would ride around and ask us if we knew where the baby had been born.

There were little shops set up around the barn---this one shows people making canes.


And of course---the highlight of the Nativity is always seeing Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. We didn't know any of them this year---but it still makes it more real to actually see them and visualize what it might have been like.

Coming back down the path was a horse that the kids tried to feed some hay to

When we got back to the church after riding the horse trailer back, the kids had a little snowball fight. Landon got Garrin with a snowball so the picture on the left was Garrin taking Landon down to the ground....hey...ya gotta have proof of some of this stuff!

Anyway---it was a really fun night---VERY cold--but fun!
