The Live Nativity

This month we had the opportunity to attend the live Nativity in Highland. Wow, was it incredible. Even after waiting in line for an hour and half we still really enjoyed it. When we finally got to the nativity part they had men on horses asking if we paid our taxes.



In the barn they had live camels, goats, a donkey, geese, and sheep. They also had the three wisemen and others dressed up like you were walking through Bethlehem. McKinley asked one lady where baby Jesus was and she said we needed to find the star first. So we went out of that barn and followed a pathway. McKinley looked up and saw the star. She was so excited because that meant baby Jesus was close.




When we entered the last barn we did indeed find Baby Jesus.
I was so grateful they put this on because it was a great way to teach McKinley about the true meaning of Christmas. As we entered the barn and saw this scene I was truly filled with the spirit of Christmas!! I am so grateful for the birth of our Savior.
