Nativity 2010

A few days before Christmas my mom had this idea. The idea was that she wanted to do a nativity with the grand kids this year. She gave us additional information over the course of that week (the week of Christmas.) She thought we could take pictures of the kids so that we could let the kids watch it. She had a few songs in mind that she wanted to use, and she found a script that she wanted to use as text on the bottom so that we could read it while we were watching. Well, we had one day to take pictures, and I had a few hours to get it all put together in time so that we could watch it together on Christmas Eve. The kids were not the most cooperative when it came to getting pictures. Joseph (aka Roman) was pretty much done after about 2 pictures. He isn't the most patient person when it comes to pictures anyway.

The cast was as follows...

Mary .............. Gabby
Joseph ........... Roman
Baby Jesus .... Hudson/Lizzie
Angel ............. Kaylee
Shepherd ...... Kaylee
Wise men ...... Jaren, Savannah, and Arianna
Innkeepers ... Savannah and Arianna
Sheep dog ..... Falkor

The first song is with the script my mom found telling the story of the nativity.



The second song is "Picture a Christmas" with pictures set to the words of the music.



All in all I think they turned out pretty good. We joked that it was "The Nativity...the comedy." Hopefully next year will go better (and we'll plan further in advance so we can do a better job.)
