Nativities and Gingerbread Houses

Festival of the Nativities at the Stake Center next to the Seattle Temple.

The family and Grandpa Dan saw a ton of different nativity sets at the church. This year they had a scavenger hunt for the kids to do. Caramel enjoyed the hunt. Some of them where really hard to find and we had to ask volunteers for help. Besides the gym, there were 4 other rooms. One room for kids with crafts and nativity toys- Rhett enjoyed that room. Another room with dress up- we took a picture in our normal clothes. Rhett wouldn't stop touching the baby Jesus especially his eyes. Myles found the baby Jesus interesting too and stared at it for a while. Another room went through the life of Jesus with pictures and displays, it was nicely done and even had tomb that looked real at the end. The last room was more of a kid room with snow all over. The nativities were more fun like snowmen, teddy bears, and webkinzs. There is always a live nativity. Mary was a girl that a babysat when I was little with her husband and new baby boy. We also ran into a good friend of my sister's who was over due with her parents and husband.

Grandpa Dan- the watcher of Myles. Nothing was broken by him.

After we went to Grandpa Dan's for gingerbread houses. This year I decided to do simple graham cracker ones instead of by a kit. The icing took awhile to master. We made 4 cube houses in the end. A couple weeks later the kids came back to Grandpa Dan's and eat what they wanted from them.
