Tonight for Family Home Evening we re-enacted the Nativity. Laren read the account of Christ's Birth from Luke chapter 2 and the kids acted out the parts.
Laren reading from Luke 2 and trying to get the kids in position.
Alyssa was the star and the Angel. Kayla was a Wiseman. Kyle was Joseph. Rilyn was Mary. And Tyler was first a Shepherd and then a Wiseman. More than anything Tyler was a "wildman," not wanting to keep his head wrap on and not wanting to stay in position. He was doing what a typical 2 year old would do and that is run around!
All the cast of Characters. It was so fun to re-enact. We sang "When Joseph Went to Bethlehem" for the opening and "Away in a Manger" for the closing.
I love it! We usually do the Christmas story on Christmas Eve, but we've never had the kids actually act it out. That would be fun.
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful that you had your own live nativity! Your kids look so cute all dressed up.
