Christmas Eve Nativity

First (and totally unrelated to the Nativity), we have the lovely chefs:

Traditional Christmas Eve food in our house?  MEXICAN!

And now, Mary: 

"What is this thing?"

"Look, guys!  There's a BABY in here!" 

"I know what babies like!  Blowing raspberries.  Pfhphffhfhphfhfpppph...."

Enter Joseph: 

Joseph is not pleased with the state of Mary's veil

Mary, Joseph, and a Wise Woman

Joseph is also not pleased with the state of Baby Jesus' diaper.

"Umm...isn't there supposed to be a baby in this thing?"

"THAT is not a baby.  That is a cow.  Even I know that!"

Mary examines the loot from the Three Kings

Our Nativity Cast

The Three Kings, Baby Jesus and Mary (with her eyes closed)

The shepherds watching over their flocks of dogs.

Camo also doubled as the donkey.

Joseph was adorably protective of Baby Jesus.

Do I need to buy my son a baby doll?

Apparently.
