nativity activities days 3 & 4

Yesterday's fun: a printable Navitiy Go Fish card game, found here: And today, our homemade live nativity: ...not included: pictures of Joseph hitting the baby with the stick, Mary crying, and the baby grabbing Joseph's robe saying "mine!" Other bits from the last few days: the kids happily entertaining themselves inside this structure which was labeled for those of us who could not determine its obvious function: And completed Christmas projects: Happy Christmas season to you~

Renae and I got a couple of chuckles out of your nativity. Esp the comments on what was NOT photographed! :-)

The nativity is awesome! Jude cracks me up--what a model baby Jesus, laying there and sucking his thumb!

The stockings are fabulous!! These will be so special to your kids--I love all the personalizing! And a word of wisdom--just as soon as you find out what #4 is get busy getting as much done this year as you can . . . it will be a happy little surprise to yourself when you unpack the Christmas decor next year. (Or just do what I have done and have a kid go stocking-less for a year or two . . .) ;o)

Personally, I think you should do a "Nativity Blooper" post and actually post all those pics you mentioned.

This nativity idea is absolutely *priceless* and will be such a treasure in years to come!!! Next year Jude can let Baby 4 take his role and he can be promoted to a shepherd. :)

{hanging my head in shame at your amazing mom talents and the fact that i have zero of those talents}

Love, love LOVE the nativity! I've been thinking about all the activities you mentioned...even discussed them with the hubs. You're AWESOME! :-)

(Wouldn't mind seeing a behind the scenes shot of the Nativity Adventures - LOL!) :-)
