Kirtland











On the day after Thanksgiving, we went to the Kirtland Historic Sites. We took the tour, guided by Sister Frederickson, who served in our branch for 4 1/2 months. It was great. Then we returned in the evening for the lighting of the Christmas lights and to see the nativity display. It was an amazing collection. Here are some pictures of a couple of my favorites--one made from soda cans, made in Kenya, and one from Central America with a huge Baby Jesus. Apparently, that is how they do it there--the Jesus figure is passed down seperate from the rest of the set. Emma dressed up the kids' room, where they had a number of child friendly nativities.

I love the different types of nativities. Just goes to show that all of God children believe!
