This year we decided to do a live nativity scene at a Christmas event that we sing at every year. We had a week to make the costumes and get everything ready, but we managed it just on time. :)
Dad built most of the stable at our house, but we brought it to the actual site to put it together.
Grace overseeing from the manger. :)
Jacob did a really great job building the manger!
We borrowed two sheep from a friend, and they really added a lot to the nativity scene.
They were happy as long as they had hay to munch on!
John, Amanda, Mom, and Grace stood off to the side of the stable and sang Christmas caorls.
Our goal was that this nativity scene would remind people of the true meaning of Christmas- the birth of Jesus Christ!
"For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be a sign to you: you will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."
