There are "OUTLAWS" in this live nativity.

As my daughter, Jennifer, blogged earlier today in "Jen's Scribbles" we toured an exhibit at a local church on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that had a display of over 250 nativity scenes that are part of individual collections. Her blog has photos of five of the nativity scenes. My wife Pat and granddaughter Alex were working together and took over 75 photos of the scenes. Below are 26 of those photos. Several different individual scenes are captured in many of the photos, therefore, I suspect that the photos below could show over 50 of the different nativities.




As Jennifer mentioned in her blog, we had the opportunity to dress up as a live nativity and have our photo taken. In this photo everyone but two have "OUTLAW" blood and one of those is an "OUTLAW" by marriage. So seven of the eight are "OUTLAWS"!!!!
At the end of the tour I filled out a survey about our visit. One of the questions was, Do you have any Nativity Scenes that you would like to have included in future exhibits? I answered yes as in my blog titled "Away in a Manger" posted on December 22, 2009 I show that Pat had 38 nativity scenes and she has a few more she has added for this year. I think several of her collection merit display in an exhibit like the one we visited.

One we cherish is the wood "puzzle" made by our nephew Billy in 1995. The puzzle was painted by our friend, Jill, around 2005.
