We had the opportunity to see a live nativity last night. It was so amazing! A stake in Draper has done it for the last 7 years and we just found out about it this year. We were lucky to find out, yesterday was the last day.
The costumes were amazing. Everyone played their part very well. There were shephards herding sheep in the field we walked by. The wiseman were looking for the star. And then they had a building set up to be just like Bethlehem. They had merchants, beggers, and someone telling us there was no room in the inn. Then we got to baby Jesus. They had a real newborn baby that was quietly sleeping. Everyone was very reverent and the Spirit was very strong. The kids just stared, we held up the line for a good 5 minutes. It was one of the best Christmas experiences we have ever had.

How great to take your kids for a hands on experience like that! I'm sure it was amazing. Wish we had something like that here!
Dang, wish I could've gone. Are you guys going to the WVC house to see the lights? Did they put them up this year? I've never heard of this live nativity thing before. I wish we'd known about it sooner! I miss you guys.
The WVC house doesn't do the lights anymore. When you were in Africa we went and they had a big sign outside saying they weren't going to do it anymore. Sad, our childhood tradition is over. We need to find a new house to go to. Melinda says she found one in Draper so we'll go see if it compares to the WVC home.
