Our church (our stake) puts on a Christmas Creche exhibit every year and we went this year to check it out. There were so many beautiful nativity scenes on display, beautiful Christmas music being performed while you peruse the scenes and also an outdoor live nativity with real animals. They also had a kids room with a bunch of nativity scenes you can touch, activities for the kids and dress up clothes for the kids to try on. Here is Matthew dressed up as Joseph.
Here we are in the kids room looking at some non-breakable nativity scenes.
We went outside to watch the live nativity scene performance.
It was cold out there but they had hot cocoa so that helped a little.
The kids sat in the aisle so they could see better. They had to move once when the three wise men (and a llama) came up the center aisle to see the baby Jesus. The performance was very nice.
The kids wanted to see the nativity scenes again afterward. They had a little scavenger hunt page for the kids to cross off different nativity scenes. One we were supposed to find was a Kokeshi Doll nativity scene! We were excited to find that one. There was also a lego one, ones from all different parts of the world and of all different sizes. It was really cool to see them all and I'm glad we got a chance to go.

That looks so peaceful, so tender. I am glad the kids got to see those!
