This past Saturday My family and my brother, Chris' family were able to welcome in the Christmas season by attending our stake's 'Living Nativity', a beautiful performance held in the Provo Tabernacle. I was really touched to see the people portraying the Bethlehem scene. My favorite part was when the wisemen came to see the little Jesus and found him sitting on his mother's lap...chubby legs and all. It was so easy to imagine that He really was this small child, and yet he grew to be our Savior. I loved it. Afterwards we went out to see the animals that would have been there when the Savior was born, and were very surprised to see a live Camel! After visiting with the animals for a loooong while (my kids are animal lovers...I wonder where they got that from?), we walked Provo Center Street and looked at the candy windows. Some of them are soooo amazing!
Nani, Ryan and Samara getting 'up close and personal' with the Camel.
Nani a little amazed!
Josh and David petting the Camels hump... in case you couldn't tell.
My brother Chris and his youngest son Tyler. Tyler thought it was really neat...but wasn't so sure about touching it.
Samara got to ride a donkey of a native Bethlehemian. She was not ready to get off. My children go to the Thanksgiving Point Farm often, and love to ride the ponies there. She was waiting to be taken on a ride in circles for awhile!
Kea wanted to go for a ride as well. The girl with the cell phone is ruining the ambiance a bit, dont you think?
Josh, Ryan, Spencer, David, Jeff, and my 'oh so happy' hubby Tino, checking out the candy windows on Center Street.
Do you see how big and older looking my baby is! Samara made 18 months in November.

How fun! Is it just the angle of that first picture, or are camels HUGE? That is cute. And yes, I cannot believe how big Samara is now. I just picture her at Christmas last year in those pics of her and Zachary in their stripey Old Navy suit things. So cute.
P.S. Photoshop that cell phone lady out!
