Joy to the World

Tonight we went to our Stake Nativity "Joy to the World". They did an amazing job, I wish I could of taken a picture of all of it but I think that they might of thought that weird. 

They had the entry ways decorated and then you were led into six linked rooms that talked about different things of Christmas and what they represent. I did take pictures of the last room, the candy cane room. Look at how amazing this looks (this is normally the Young Women room) look at all the detail, doesn't it just make you happy looking at it.

They had done up a children a room in the primary room. It had a place that the kids could dress up the parts the of the Nativity. Here Alycia and Lulu take on the animals role. Kelsie is Mary, and Kallie an angel / wise man.

They had blocks for the kids to build the town of Bethlehem. Jaron stayed in that area for about an hour. Building the biggest town with huge buildings.

They had paper chains through out the whole room. The primary kids made these chains, the kids were so excited to see the chain and tell us that they had made part of it.

They had a couple of carpenter work tables set up (Kelsie is at the table hard at work). They had crayons and staplers for them to put together the book from the rooms we walked through. They were also able to color them.

In the gym there were over 300 Nativities, even a live one with just people sitting there. They also had musical numbers. The stake did an amazing job, you could really feel the true spirit of Christmas there.
