Last night our family went to see the live Nativity in Alpine. It was really amazing- freezing, but amazing. There were real camels, donkeys and sheep. We were able to walk through the town of Bethlehem and see different people working at their craft of metal working, yarn spinning and bread making. At the end, after following the star, we were ushered in to view the baby Jesus- played by a real baby. I really felt like it was a great way to start the holidays and remember why we even celebrate Christmas. It really isn't all about the gifts, decorations or even the elves... It's all about the birth of our Savior- something that we all must remember as we get busy with the holidays.
Our elves must have realized what a special experience this was for our family and they wanted to be involved so they created their own live nativity. Marty and Belle played the parts of Mary and Joseph. Taylor even commented that he should have taken his elves last night so that they could have seen the "real baby Jesus" (this mom wouldn't let him take the elves, he tried!)
