Drive-Thru Nativity

Friday night, December 17, we dressed the kids in their pajamas and loaded them in the car to go to the drive-thru nativity at the Roseville Seventh-day Adventist Church. We have done it once before when Kyler was less than two years old and I thought it would be something he would really enjoy now. It was raining and we weren't sure if they would be doing it in the rain or not but we decided to head over there to find out.

We were happy to get there and find out it was still happening, rain or not. The way it works is they have volunteers give you a CD to play in the car which narrates the scenes you drive by. There are 10 scenes (if I remember correctly) and there are actors at each one portraying a different story from the life of Jesus. As you stop at each scene you listen to the narration on the CD. Kyler really enjoyed it and loved going through.

I took several pictures from the car but it looks like it is snowing in every one. It wasn't really snowing, but it was raining. I really hope the actors and volunteers didn't get sick from being out there all night in the rain. What a blessing we got from it. I plan on making it a holiday tradition for our family.
