A few Sundays ago we went to the annual Santa Margarita Stake "Follow the Star" live nativity. They used to have thousands of nativities on display inside, but not this year. They served cookies and hot chocolate inside and we got to enjoy a live nativity outside - complete with a manger, animals, and all.
Yay for Christmas!
That's Mary and the real baby behind us...you just can't tell. We were there for their 250th performance (over a 14 year period) which was pretty cool. The best part of all, though, was Libby's reaction to the animals. It was all silent and very spiritual until the shepherds came out. As soon as the sheep were in sight, Libby called out "Baaa-aaa!" as loud as she could. It was hilarious! The entire crowd started busting up laughing - she totally killed the spirit, but it was pretty adorable! She continued to "baaa-aaa" and "neigh" throughout the rest of the show, but no one seemed to mind too much, thankfully. What would a live nativity be without sound effects to go along with it?!
That's my girl!!!
ReplyDeleteWe loved going to that when we lived there. This year they had the Nativity displays here but we weren't able to go. We loved that too.
