The Greatest Story Ever Told

Yes, Christmas has come and gone once again. I always look forward to this special time of year and the traditions that get played out year after year knowing that my family will be together. This year was extra special as the whole entire Smart family was together for Christmas. There are a few posts to come of the joyous activities we spent doing together, but I have to start with this one. This is our first year attempt at the next generation of Smarts taking over the roles in the Nativity Story.

Meet Kallie. She is 5 yrs. old and was excited to make her debut performance as Mary, mother of Jesus. She is outfitted nicely, and wears a smile upon her face in the anticipation of making her theatrical debut.

Meet Cade. Clearly he is NOT happy about being a shepherd and continued to throw this tantrum until the blanket he is wearing as a costume was shed from his body.

These are wise men. This was the obvious choice since Mario & Gabe are of the exotic nature.

This is the Nativity post Tylenol PM and Khloe is also not thrilled to participate as baby Jesus.

I'm disappointed that this picture did not come out better. This is the one picture where all participants invloved were actually even tempered. The only way this was accomplished was by kicking Khloe out of the make shift manger and allowing Cade to fill in.

Oh happy times...it's great to have a new generation of Nativity participants as this yearly tradition occupies a substancial amount of my childhood memories.
