Welch family Nativity party

We had our annual party at Terry and Cyrrena's home.  They are always so gracious to let us all be there. We thought the snow might make it a difficult climb to their mountain home but it all worked out.

The cousins always love getting together that's for sure..

We gathered at 5 for appetizers, soups and hot rolls then we all settled in to watch and listen to the First Presidency's Christmas devotional 

We have never tried this before and it was a bit long for the little ones to stay calm but we were all grateful for closed captioning.  We could read even if we couldn't hear it.

Then came  the part we all look forward to........the Welch nativity.  We had a real baby Jesus this year thanks to Nicole and Darin's new baby Dax. We also had 2 Marys, 1 Joseph, 1 Joseph Smith, a star/stable , 2 Wisemen, a camel, a Shepherd, 3 Angels and Jonah and the Whale .....
