A Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

We gave our kids the Little People Nativity set for Christmas this year using it in an object lesson for FHE about Christmas and telling the story to them so they can learn about Jesus' birth and the events that took place. Margie has been having a lot of fun playing with them and we've found all sorts of people and animals gathered around Baby Jesus. This one so far is the best. There's the minivan full of Mary Joseph and the shepherds (With Baby Jesus and the angel in the back). The police car with the pilgrims in it, the fire truck with another pilgrim and one Indian and the Barbie carriage with some more people and animals. She had them all lined up going to the stable and I had to come and see all her people on their trip. She was very proud of it.
