In recent years, Chris' parents have really improved the quality of their nativity by adding costumes from various regions of the world to their collection. These days they encourage/force invited guests to participate while they take pictures.
Since our family is still very new, our own nativity costume collection is limited (ok, non-existent). But, we wanted to keep the tradition alive in our own family. So, we dressed up Addie.Here's the cutest little shepherd girl you ever did see (and I demand proof from anyone who thinks they've seen cuter!).
We took Addie with us to deliver some goodies to our neighbors.
Truth be told, she wasn't initially very happy about her costume...
But, we stood her up and were able to complete her ensemble. Unfortunately, I forgot her staff! (our rolling pin)
I think your blog is really interesting ... especially this post :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! Addie is definitley adorable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful continuation of a good tradition. I looks to me as if you DO have a costume-one, and Addie looks great in it!! I thoroughly enjoyed this blog. thanks, love, mom
ReplyDeleteI forgot one thing....fun. love, mom
ReplyDeleteOhhh, that's GREAT!!! I actually laughed out loud while I was reading it to Jessie. As per Jessie-style, he sad there with a wide grin on his face... which, if you recall, is a comparable to a good giggle from anyone else! ^_^
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that is:) And Addie is so ADORABLE:)
ReplyDeletethat brought back memories!! we did it with Liv this year too...but it didn't exactly go as planned. Liv insisted that she was a Snowman for the Christmas story, so we had to do a little editing (angels and a snowman appeared to the shepherds, that sort of thing). !!!
ReplyDeleteshe is SO adorable, you guys. i want to squeeze her.
ReplyDeletekyle and i acted it out ourselves, no pictures will ever see the light of day though.
