My New Favorite Quote:

"All can walk where Jesus walked when, with His words on our lips, His spirit in our hearts, and His teachings in our lives, we journey through mortality. I would hope that we would walk as he walked with confidence in the future, with an abiding faith in His Father, and with a genuine love for others." President Thomas S. Monson

FHE Nativity

Luke 2

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all athe world should be btaxed.

  2 (And this ataxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

  3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

  4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called aBethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

  5 To be taxed with Mary his aespoused wife, being great with child.

  6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 

  7 And she brought forth her afirstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the binn. snow and nativity 08 026

  8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. snow and nativity 08 033

  9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the aglory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

  10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you agood tidings of great bjoy, which shall be to all people.

  11 For unto you is aborn this day in the city of David a bSaviour, which is Christ the cLord. snow and nativity 08 027

  12 And this shall be a asign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

  13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

  14 aGlory to God in the highest, and on earth bpeace, good will toward men.

  15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. snow and nativity 08 029

  16 And they came with ahaste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. snow and nativity 08 028 snow and nativity 08 041

  17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. snow and nativity 08 044

That is awesome!! I have to admit though that I chuckled a bit when I saw Cory's hat. It looks like they had fun learning about our Savior.

Looks like some sort of a turban to me.

So fun! Cute! That just made me think that we ought to do something like that on Christmas Eve; I guess my kids ARE old enough. :-)

I do have to say, poor Mary! Ouch! That baby Jesus was HUGE! ;-)

That was darling. Looks like a good time was had by all.

We tried the same thing except that Mango was a very wriggly baby Jesus. Next year we are going for a doll.
