Nativity Festival

My grandma and I

Jeff and I waiting for Corrie to sing

They set up nativity sets all around the cultural hall




Jeff kind of looked like a creepy terrorist


While Aidyn was still happy


Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus




So I go to institute every Thursday with my mom in Temecula. While I was there one week a woman in the stake came up to me and asked if Jeff and I would be willing to play Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus for the Nativity Festival this year. I told her we would, and after convincing Jeff how much fun it would be, we decided to do it. We got there early to get dressed, and everything was going great...Aidyn was happy (I made sure to feed her right before) and it was a lot of fun. Then Aidyn went crazy!!! She wouldn't stop screaming and we tried to do everything we could think of to make her calm down, but she wouldn't. The lady came up to me in between groups and told me to take Aidyn out and they would have to find a replaement until she could calm down. I took her out and she really didn't calm down, so we never ended going back in. Poor Jeff. He was left all alone as Joseph in the Manger for about a half hour. They ended up replacing me, Mary with some other older woman in the stake, and they replaced Aidyn, baby Jesus with a doll. So there stood Jeff, with an older woman who was supposed to be his wife, and a fake plastic baby as his child...needless to say I apologized for that one and I doubt he will agree to do it again.
