Nativity Re-enactment, Madsen Style

When we were kids, my parents used to dress us up on Christmas Eve and read the story of Jesus' birth from the Bible. We did it this year with all of our kids and it was so cute. I think that Jesus' actual birth was much quieter and spiritual, but we did the best we could with 9 kids under the age of 10.

Introducing Joseph and Mary


One Wise Man


An Angel with wings and a Shepard's Wife (yes, we have taken a few liberties)


Baby Jaguar's parents asked if she could participate. She added a few rejoicing howls.


And one narrator who feels she is too grown up to dress up and pretend


All gazing at the Baby Jesus. This brought back fond memories of my childhood.
