Here's the good old family nativity...

THE CAST...
Mary
Joseph
Shepherds, Wise men, Nativity story-teller
Conductor/piano player
checking out the props.....gold, myrrh, frankincense

And yeah that's baby Jesus in the "manger" And in the background is the rest of the cast- more
shepherds, wise men and animals (all kiddos stuffed animals)

P.S. We were all doing great on Dec. 23. All day feeling great & happy. Doing some last minute
preparation etc. Then about 5:00 pm Ethan was complaining his stomach was bothering him. The boy is not a baby. In fact I wish he would speak up more. He always tries to play it so tough, real mans man. Anyway so I knew when he did complain there must be some real trouble. He did feel rather hot and did have a sick look. My immediate thought was oh great Swine flu/H1N1. I knew it, I knew it would find us. (I'm a little over dramatic with hormones and pregnancy ;) Anyway so I won't give any
gory details lets just say all four of us were up all night "being sick" together. We didn't get much sleep. It hit us hard and like
domino's we went down. Poor Nathan had to go to work the next morning too. I'm such a lucky girl that boy never calls in, even with the flu. Well needless to say it wasn't anything horrible just a little 24 hour bug. But it stayed with us through the next day. So these kiddos are being good sports with fevers and colds and runny noses we did our nativity. NOW that's dedication if you ask me. I just prayed they would be feeling better by Christmas morning.
If you'll notice none of us are looking our best in these pics.......still feeling sick but we had to carry on the tradition!
