A Christmas Tradition

We've enjoyed visiting Midway in December the last few years for the creches exhibit in one of the churches there.  People share their nativity sets from all over the world.  It's neat to see the different cultures' depictions of that night.

The kids always get to dress up in costumes and be a live nativity. You can imagine how difficult it is to get everyone to look at once.

We also get to check out the many versions of gingerbread houses from the locals.  Some of them are very impressive!

We had a great day with Jon's family and finished it off with some great Mexican food at Tarahumara!

This Nativity was carved out of match sticks.  The kids loved the necessity of the giant magnifying glass.

One of the many times I had to say, "Jonah, don't touch!"


FLASHBACK!
This was from last year.  It's amazing how fast kids grow!! Sophie's in the back pulling her sheep hat off.
