After celebrating our Christmas morning it really felt to us that Christmas had come and gone.
It felt weird to still celebrate for another week and things felt very out of order.
Nonetheless, we couldn't miss our only and last chance to visit our Zoo's Live Nativity production.
We had heard so many great things about it and I am so grateful we braved the cold and went to see it.
The Zoo owner is LDS and puts on this free short program depicting the night of the Saviors birth with the live animals. It was beautiful. I really felt the spirit strongly and felt grateful for all the volunteers who make it possible year after year. It was fabulous!
Don't mock the eskimo in the top left corner- it was windy and FREEZING!
Lucy was miserable until the animals came out- then it was all worth it to her.
After the program they all come down so you can meet the animals and the other actors.
She loved getting to pet the baby goats and even the camel!
She got to talk to a shepherd and got a gold coin from a wise men.
It was super cute!
Side Story: With all the talk of the "characters" from the nativity, Lucy has been obsessed with Mary. She knows very well that she is Jesus' mother and dare I say- may be her favorite.
Sidenote- Our fish died over thanksgiving and she used to always bless "fishy" in her mealtime prayers. Since then she pauses, looks over to where fishy's bowl used to be and asks (every time without fail) "where's fishy?" and we decided to tell her "fishy is in heaven with Jesus".
Well lately in multiple prayers she goes through the same routine but then after my reply say's
"no-fishy is with Mary!" I think it's very sweet and nice to think about.
