Nana gave us a great "interactive, kid-friendly" (quotes from the box) nativity to use this year with Eli. It's been great because each day Eli gets to open a little present that contains one of the people for the nativity and hear a poem about that person and how they fit into the Christmas story. Eli has really enjoyed this nightly ritual, so much so that as he's finishing dinner he'll point to it and say "tiv" - his version of "nativity." He knows each of the people's names so far: "Geh" (Angel), "Mayme" (Mary), "Jos" (Joseph), and Jesus - which he says pretty darn well! :) Last night's present was baby Jesus, and Eli was very excited!
Instead of leaving baby Jesus in the nativity with the others, Eli played with Him for awhile, even taking the baby on a train ride! :) Thanks, Nana and Pa, for the great gift!

Hey guys, I am behind catching up on your blog. I love this nativity. I want one for Camden. Where did you find this. I love how Eli knows all the names of the people.
