Our (Extended) Weekend of Thanks (part 3)

For our last evening in St. George, we all went and saw the live nativity performed at Tuacahn amphitheater.  It was a perfect evening, the weather was cool, not cold and the I thought the performance was rather touching.  It was a great way to welcome in the Christmas season.

I have such pretty sisters.

The fam before the performance.  No, King E doesn't usually glow like he is
in the picture above.  This night was just a special night.

During the performance. 

Now for a hilarious story, well I thought it was funny.  When Mary and Joseph were first shown with the baby, General J my nephew (age 6) announced it was just a doll and fake.  (He was correct.)  General J was a bit dismayed by this.  During this scene shown above, a little shepherd boy took the "baby" and showed each of the shepherds.  The whole time General J chanted under his breath "fake, fake, fake".  I laughed so hard when I heard that.  Maybe not the most reverent thing to mutter doing the nativity, but funny.

The baby may have been fake, but the camels weren't.

Most of the cast. 

My nephew Super R was sitting next to me during the performance.  He's a little obsessed with my camera since our adventures on the red rocks.  With the change of each scene he was sure to tell me to take a picture.  During the grand finale (shown above) I asked Super R what I should take a picture of.  He reached his arms out real wide and said, "Everything!".  So cute.

Apparently there is a two-faced elf in Santa's shop.
