Christmas Story
I have carefully pared down our photos. Still, I don't want to overload with photos. I'm going to do several separate posts...maybe it will be easier on the eyes?
This activity was a WINNER! We acted out the Christmas story. Roles were randomly selected...though JAMIN drew Mary and *I* drew Joseph. I finally agreed to switch when Mike thought it would be distracting to the general story if Jamin was Mary.
Mary was GREAT with child - De'Etta is uniquely qualified to "feel" this role. ::snort:: 
Finally, Joseph shows a bit of empathy. Josiah was the donkey.
Rather BIG baby Jesus
Angel
Angel with Shepherd
Narrator
Magi - not sure what the sword is about....Arielle was a spitting camel
Ah, Follow the STAR!
Krista - inn keeper; Bre angel; Nolan/Jared - Shepherd; Josiah - donkey; Zander, Jared & David - magi; Arielle - camel; De'Etta - Mary; Stacia - Baby Jesus; Jamin - Joseph
Note to self for next year: This was a fantastic activity but I don't know that we will combine it with our Christmas Morning Reading of the Word next year. Something was lacking. Maybe on an earlier Sunday in Advent.

How neat to do the Christmas story this way. BUT hate to tell you DeEtta it looks like a multiple birth to me. :):):)
