Family Nativity

Word of Caution: This is an amateur production!!!

So, every year, the Kendall's get together for a family night a few days before Christmas to put on our own Family Nativity.  When I first joined the family it was the adults doing this since there were only 3 kids at that point.  Not too many years later, the kids started to outnumber the adults and I don't think any of us felt too bad when our acting was set on the shelf and we are allowing the youngsters to cultivate their talents.  Jeff is usually called back because none of the rest of us want to play the piano.

Jace has such a great deep voice to be the Narrator, so that has been his part in the play for a couple years now.

Sarah got the chance to play Mary this year and Joseph was played by Darren.  He was such a great Joseph except for the few times he chose to hurry off and leave his wife to fend for herself.

There's our cute Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus - who at this point in the production was played by Austin.

I really don't think Sarah minded her part, she got to hold all of these cute little babies!!!

What would our story be without 2 adorable angels, Abby and Ali, who are actually angels in every sense of the word.  How can you deny that fact?

Tyler and Bella were the perfect choice for being Shepherds, however, one does not looked too thrilled.

Now this is the only picture I have of our 2nd cute little Baby Jesus, Nathan.  He too did a fantastic job!!!  I think his brother really loves him as well.

I just had to put this one in because it was too cute of both of these cousins, Ryan and Jordan.

But this is the real crew who were made up of "4 Wisemen" (Ryan, Lauren, Jordan, and Sydney) but a couple of them chose to name themselves "Wisewomen" which was very fitting.

And in the end, we had our 3rd and final Baby Jesus, Gavin, who seemed to be more interested in grabbing Sarah's clothing and hair and eating whatever he could.

He was also a little wiggly, but he still did a very fine job.

I don't know guys, do you think we should take this show on the road???  If nothing else, our kids sure do look forward to this FHE every year and we hear about who's going to be who for months leading up to it.  What fun memories and traditions we have.
