Living Nativity!

 We went to see the Living Nativity at a church in Fort Smith and it was awesome!  We try to go every year because the boys love it so much.  We ended up waiting for about 1 1/2 hours to actually get to the nativity part, but we had a good time waiting!

When we first pulled in the parking lot, we rolled the windows down and Beau made friends with the kids in the car next to us.  He kept saying "Hey. what your name?"  That boy never met a stranger!!

After a little bit, I got out of the car with the boys and we went to see the live animals.  Beau LOVED the donkey!!  He kept petting him and telling everyone he touched the donkey.

 The camel was pretty cool too.  Beau wouldn't touch it but kept wanting to go back and see the "orange one". 

 All 3 boys with the donkey!

Some random car pics while we waited!

 Sweet boys!

When we finally got to the nativity part we were all mesmerized.  It's all very real.  Beau is actually "getting" the Christmas story a little bit this year and he was SO excited to see all the things we have been talking about.  I was in tears when we drove away.  It was a great reminder of what Christmas is all about.  I love that it has become part of our Christmas tradition!
