Nativity Display


We have lots of family traditions around this Holiday Season. This year we are trying to do something "Christmassy" every day. On Friday night we discovered "The Nativity". It is a collection of 100's of different nativities from all over the world collected and displayed at one of our churches. We took some pictures of our favorites but before we get to that part of the post, we want to highlight a few other points. There is an exceptional children's area. Here is Cassidy, bringing "Glad tidings of Great Joy....."

Our little Angel giving some parenting advice to Mary (aka: Kayla)
Our very own little mommy channeling her inner "Mary",
Tour guide Brogan, giving instructions, "Don't touch anything! Righ this way please..."
Brogan, trying to obey his own "don't touch" edict...
The temptation was too great at this water feature. He HAD to touch....OOOOOH!
Kayla thought this nativity was cute:

Origami. Another Kayla favorite:

Penguines...I don't know if you can see the tiny little baby penguin tucked under the mommy's feet. So cute. A Cassidy fav.
Lego's. It would be impossible to say which of us thought this one was the best (but I can eliminate myself from the list of possibilities. Cool. But not my fav).
Frogs! Seriously!?!
This one was Brogan's very favorite (although the lego one may still top it). Veggie Tales!
Chickens. This one is in honor of our dear friends in NH the Lawless Family. It should be in your house. Somewhere.
The girls were amazed by this pink number.
There were SO many more. We spent a good hour and a half walking around and STILL didn't see it all. We quite literally had to carry a screaming sad boy out of the building calling to all who would listen, "I don't wanna go....". We are going to go back tonight. They are on display until Sunday evening. Really, it was beautiful and we are all looking forward to seeing them again. Maybe there will be more photos to come.
