Last year the wonderful Hawkes family, from our ward, opened up their property and barn to the ward so we could have a wonderful Christmas Live Nativity. It was sooooo special and memorable and we were fortunate this year that they wanted to do it again. This year was extra special because our family got to be involved. Matt was Joseph, I was Mary, baby Eva was Jesus and Luke was a wiseman. It was complete with chickens, goats, and a mule. What a neat and memorable night and a wonderful way to get in the Christmas spirit!
Just about 2 hours before the event I invited my neighbors Liz and George Hanus and their family. Nothing like last minute :) To my surprise they said YES!!!! I was thrilled!!!!!! Thank goodness my sister Kim and her kids were up to visit because they were able to socialize and keep the Hanus's company while the rest of us were getting ready. It was a wonderful evening.
I am so thankful that my Savior Jesus Christ was born on this Earth and lived a perfect life so we could have his example to follow. And I am very grateful for his marvelous sacrifice that made it possible for me to return back to my Heavenly Father! Merry Christmas!
(Tons of people took pictures and promised to send them on so I will keep posting more as I get them)

What an amazing opportunity! I love the first picture of you and Matt. I loved looking at all your posts- I haven't been on your blog in a little while. Eva is so darling!
We looked at this post long ago but just didn't have time to comment at the time. These pictures brought tears to our eyes. You and Matt are so beautiful as Mary and Joseph. And Luke looks so reverent as one of the wisemen.
