Walk through nativity scene
We got to do a neat thing last night. We participated in a walk through nativity scene. This was not our church that put this on - but we got a call a couple of weeks ago from them because we have sheep. So we brought a couple of our sheep, and Allena dressed up as a shepherdess. Dominic ended up being drafted into being a wise man, since they had a last minute no-show.
There weren’t a lot of people that showed up (’cause hey, it was cold!) but it was neat all the same. probably 65-70 percent of the people that did show up were kids and they got a big kick out of the sheep. All in all a fun evening.
Update: Here are some pictures (I found the camera!)
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - Jesus was played by a doll in this case because it was pretty cold out ;)
Dominic is on the right
Allena is the shepherd, and the little girl is playing an Angel (that appeared to the shepherds of course!)

that’s so cool! Kinda puts my plastic Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus to shame! I am wondering though how you got added to a calling list for people who own sheep……

Ironically, the Amish man I buy sheep feed from ratted us out. LOL, at any rate,it was really fun, and the little kids were so happy to learn about the sheep. The people at the church were so happy to have found some sheep for the display it was very rewarding to participate.
