At the beginning of last week, Walter found my camera and took over 100 pictures. I deleted a bunch of them but I kept some so I could remember these small moments. It's kind of fun to see things through the eyes of a child. Here are some of my favorites:
And Last but not least a self portrait
On Thursday night went to the Alpine Live Nativity.
It was wonderful!!!

We had a short wait before we got on the trailers
Then when we got off the trailer we were greeted by a Shepherd who told us to come over and he gave us an introduction to what the Nativity was all about:
There were sheep
And then we were meet by Roman Soldiers. who were looking for boys under the age of two. They asked us several times about Quincy. But we didn't let them take him to Herod
It was so awesome!! They had camels!!! I don't know why that was so important to me but it was.
The boys loved petting all the animals.
We continued our journey to the Three Wise men. They explained the three gifts and how they were used during that time.
Then there were more animals and a little market setting. Where they showed different trades of that period.
Then there was the main event,
Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus.
The Spirit was so strong, it was so special. Our family was the only ones in the room at that time. I felt so warm and happy. We only stayed for a moment. But we did take the time to explain to the boys that the feeling they were feeling was the Spirit.
I can't put it into words how wonderful it was. It is sure to become a family tradition
Then on Sunday we decorated the tree. The boys love doing this.
Then another tradition laying down and looking up at the tree
After we were done the boys read Christmas books by the light of the tree

Another fun Christmas tradition that we started this year was 25 Days of CHRIST
Here are some pictures of our ornaments so far:
The Star
The Shepherd
The Wise Men
The Scriptures
And we will add one more tonight. This also has been a wonderful activity to remind the kids and us about the real reason that we celebrate Christmas. The scriptures and quotes that we read with each one have been wonderful and the videos are great.
I'll share just one, it was so cute to see the boys watch this video. Hunter kept commenting on how cute the baby Jesus was.
