Nativity Pictures!

Here are some shots of our family reenactment of the Christmas Story.  This year we read out of "The Way" Bible, and I really liked the interpretation of the story.  If you read my last post you will know that this year was the first time we have put the play together without our family - the Tadlocks and the Simmas.  We missed you guys very much.  The bleating of the sheep was missing... among other things :)
