Living Nativity Mommy Date

The Roman soldiers guarding Bethlehem


One of the "Roman soldiers" was our friend who threatened to throw Shelby into prison if she didn't pay her taxes.


One of the Bethlehem boys offered to sell Shelby some fruit.


Shelby loved petting the sheep.


Bethlehem mesmerized Shelby.


Shelby shopping in Bethlehem.


Shelby loved the animals.


Getting to pet the donkey.


Shelby got to touch baby Jesus.


Shelby was is awe of the Crucifixion scene.  She stared at Jesus for a long time, and she had a hard time with the blood running down his legs.


Shelby heard the narrator describe how Jesus was going to come back and take Christians to heaven and she started sobbing because she knows he is not in her heart.  She said she knew she would be left all alone if Jesus took mommy, daddy, and Hailey and left her.


After the Nativity we enjoyed treats in the Community Center.


My sweet Shelby.
