The Nativity

December 10

So Cody's Uncle puts on a live Nativity in Alpine every year and this is not just a nativity this is one they have put much much effort into.  It is as if you were reliving the entire thing.  If you have not seen this I highly recommend you putting it on your calendar for this year.  They have it in one of his neighbors yards which it contains several acers.  You feel like you are walking through Bethlehem. We tarted off riding in a horse trailer to get to the nativity.

Then you took the path up to the Camels.

There was roman soldiers on their horses and donkeys along the path also.  The kids took a minute to feed one of the donkeys.

Then you entered a barn which was set up like the old town of Bethlehem.  In here they had different places along the way.  Women weaving with wool the men sawing logs and a bakery where they were baking their bread.

I didn't get a picture of Mary Joseph and baby Jesus. 
We were then off to the hot chocolate and visit around the warm fires.  I believe this will become a family tradition for the kids really got a lot out of it.
