Christmas in Idaho is always so much fun. We had lots of wonderful treats to eat, but the best treat was the Nativity presentation by the grandkids. Claire was fascinated by the Christmas village, and Emma was delighted watching her touch each piece.
All the grandkids acted out their parts very reverently, especially Mary and Joseph, aka, Rae Rae and Vincent.
We had shepherds, and very happy ones, you might even say, very giddy ones. After all, they had just seen the angels proclaim the Holy Birth. So with one sheep in tow, they headed off to Bethlehem.
The angels were beautiful and awe inspiring, but the little-est angel was totally occupied most of the performance playing with a wooden nativity scene on the hearth behind her. We were lucky to get this lone picture of her front side.
You may notice that we could use some wise men, a few more sheep and a few more angels to make our nativity complete. Maybe in future years we'll have more of you here to celebrate with us; and that's a happy Christmas wish.For those of you who couldn't join us, the grandkids are sending this special song about our Savior whose birth we celebrate. Because of His love and atonement we may someday live with again with Him. How grateful I am to Him for watching over all of you that I love so dearly. As a family we have been blessed so incredibly, with our freedoms, our homes, our jobs, and the friendship and love of every family member. Thanks be to our Heavenly Father and also to each of you for your goodness.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

That little video turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing your great pictures.
I miss you so much!!! It's things like this (and the sub-zero temps we have today) that make me want to hop in a moving truck and come back out west. Thank you for sharing this, so we can vicariously be there. Love you!!
