Christmas Nativity

We had a fun FHE on December 14th, 2009. We acted out the Christmas Story with the Elders, Liz, Robert, Eve, and the Websters. So much fun! Here are pictures to tell the story:

Here Samuel the Lamanite (Elder Stanley) preaches on the Wall. Rocks (sock balls) and arrows where shot at him, but everyone missed!Nephi (Ben) prays to know when the sign would be given and was told it would be the next day. Here he sees the sign!Joseph (Xander) takes Mary (Rachel) on a donkey(Ben) to Bethlehem for the tax.No room in the Inn so they settle for the stable.Mary gives birth to baby Jesus and wraps him and lays him in a manger.An angel (Robert) appears to the shepherds (Jennifer and I).He tells us not to be afraid, that he has brought glad tiding of great joy! A horse turned shepherd (Eliza) helps tend the sheep.
Shepherds visit the baby Jesus and sing a song.
Eve joins Jessica at the piano. We sang Christmas carols for each scene.Elder Stanley plays with a lost sheep.
The 3 Wisemen (Elder Burrows, Wendy, & Kevin) follow the new star. They stop to talk with King Herod.
King Herod (Elizabeth) says to tell him where they find this new king so that he can come worship him too!More singing as the kings worship baby Jesus.
Kevin and Eliza.

That was it. So much fun!
