The BEST Live Nativity!

It has become a tradition for us to go to the Live Nativity every year. This was the first year that we took Paige and of course Brayden.


We love the spirit that you feel there, they do such an amazing job. I just love everything about it. It is such an AWESOME way to enter into the holiday season and for little ones to learn about the real reason we celeberate Christmas.

We loved having the opportunity to explain what was happening to Paige as we were going along. You first come across an ancient prophet writing about the coming of the Savior.

Then you see sheperds...{unfortunately the goats weren't co-operating for this picture, but they were there}....the sheep were there also.

Then of course the 3 wise men...looking to see the sign that the Savior had been born.

Then just as you are about to enter the streets of Bethlehem you come across the "tax collector".

As you go inside the town of Bethlehem, you come across many typical sites from that time. This is a picture of a "begger".

This is the "inn keeper". And just after you come to him you round the corner to see....

Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus.

It is such an amazing feeling! Paige wanted to stand there and stare forever, she was in awe about the experience as well. We were thrilled that she felt and recognized the spirit and marveled in the story as we walked along and experienced it.

We hope that you all have the chance to feel the spirit and to really celebrate the birth of our Savior! Merry Christmas!
