December 23 - Advent Activity #3

Read our book we made 2 years ago of our Nativity Pageant.


This Nativity Pageant is the script used for many years during the traditional P. Family Nativity Pageant on Christmas Eve. It has evolved over the years with additional characters added to allow all family members to participate. Cara P. K. added the famous innkeeper in the 1980's. Bama (Gma P) was always the Angel Gabriel. Baby Jesus would be the youngest child small enough to fit into the wooden box that held our blocks. Eventually a doll was used when the box was outgrown. We were so excited to have our own live baby Jesus this year starring Kendall.
