Tonight we acted out the Nativity story in our living room.
After I orchestrated a nativity re-enactment in Primary a couple of weeks ago I realized how easy it is to improvise costumes from things like pillowcases and curtains.
Pillowcase, curtain-- voila! Mary!

Pillowcase, fabric remnant, ugly tie, funky scarf-- voila! shepherd!
Erm... shepherd, take two:
Here's the whole group. Bean is Joseph who would not keep his robe on. Cousin K is the angel in a cut of 6 yards of muslin that she cleverly formed into her own haute couture. Cousin S is another shepherd in the most delicious green bathrobe. Cabbage Patch Toby is Baby Jesus wrapped in my Hug A Bub carrier for swaddling clothes. We just read Luke 2 so we didn't figure we needed wise men.
You need to enlarge this photo-- the subtleties of the facial expressions are hilarious.
