a midway christmas tradition is the creche at the homestead. they have nativities from all over the world displayed along with christmas music being performed. we went last night for family night.
my favorite part was the nativity acted out by the marionette puppets. this is a horrible photo and definitely does not do this puppet show justice. it was intriguing. abe said , 'this is awesome!" and sadie leaned over and whispered, "this is creepy!"
at the end, the audience sang silent night while the angel puppet stood out front and LED the music. yep, the lady holding the puppet moved just the puppet's arm, while we all sang:) it made my whole self smile! it was good for my soul and we all loved it.
abe took a lot of photos. some of the nativities and some strange baby jesus'. here are just a few:
the kids dressed up for a photo and vivian was baby jesus,
sadie wouldn't participate due to the fact that one of the older kids from her school was running the dress-up station:)
*is that sheep flexing for baby jesus?
we went to the nutcracker on dec. 1st, which we loved! these two events were a great way to kick off the month of december and get us in the christmas spirit.
