Family Nativity

Tonight we tried a reenactment of the nativity. I, of course, was Mary, Spencer was Joseph/shepherd, and Carson was a very unreliable wise man (he kept running off in the middle of the story). Squashy the doll played baby Jesus and Andy was the narrator. It was quite a production! We kept it short and simple, but I still wonder if anything sank in. Spencer at least enjoyed the dressing up part.

Spencer was disturbed that we didn't have enough actors, so he set up all the little figures from our kids' nativity sets to watch over baby Jesus (AKA "Squashy"). I'm sure they were humbled not only by the divinity of the baby, but also by his enormous size.

Here we are in full costume. You can see that the little wise man was not so happy to participate. He also had stinky pants halfway through the performance, so that may have been part of the problem.
