Our Family Nativity on Christmas Eve

Our family cast anxiously get ready for their big debut-
Joseph (Tyler), Mary (Savannah), the donkey (a repeat
performance by popular demand for Ben), shepherds
Elijah & Don), wise men (Sydney & Emma), the angel
(another repeat performance by Miriam), and the most
important part of all- Jesus (by a smiling Samuel).













Sydney loves being a "wise guy" complete
with jewels & a silver wig & crown!










As dad reads the story from the Bible,
Joseph & Mary, riding on the donkey, begin their trek.










The time for Jesus to be born comes
& the angel makes sure the star is
right overhead. Poor donkey is worn
out after that long trip!!













The shepherds follow the star...













the wise men arrive from the east (the
front room) bearing gold, frankincense, & myrrh.










Here is the family after the reading.










A cute shepherd & a pretty Mary...













AND a big kiss for Joseph!
