Every year our Stake hosts a nativity exhibit. For my Ann Arbor framily out there it is just like The Creche Exhibit (only fancier). We (the members) deck out the church in a rather impressive Bethlehem like backdrop and display our various nativities from around the world. I believe this year they said there was over 450. There are many musical performances throughout the weekend and the community is welcome also. The music is beautiful and it is such a wonderful way to kick off the Christmas season (it was held the first weekend in December).
Each year families can dress up and have your picture taken in the Manger. In years previous, Weston has refused but this year momma made sure it happened since we had our very own baby Jesus. I am not sure where Joseph was when we took the picture. Weston wanted to be a King (go figure) and so little W followed suit.
A "King" and an "Angel". Warren with his friend Charlotte. Is that the proudest King you ever did see?
Warren's masterpiece....ok ok...so mom helped....a tinsy bit.
Another Christmas tradition is visiting the most impressive outdoor Christmas train display EVER. This family is amazing. Their entire yard is filled with trains of all sizes and decorations galore. The guy takes two weeks off work before Thanksgiving setting it all up and then sits outside from 6-9 pm with his family every night running the trains and giving kids rides, etc. For Warren this equals pure joy, being the train junkie that he is.
Warren and his friend Ashira overlooking the beauty.

I love it when I capture classic Warren expressions and home so I was thrilled she was able to as well. Two of my favorite for sure! 
Ben LOVED playing on the tracks (yes they were inactive). Here he SO proudly displays his treasure.
The brother pictures where a little tougher to capture. Warren was either too lovey or out came the anaconda squeeze! But...she did get some cute ones! 
Momma & me: Loving those cheeks!! (Both sets that is) 
Mr Warren (3 1/2 yrs): I didn't originally plan on getting pictures done of Warren because we just had some done when he turned three... BUT he was starting to compete a little for the photographer's attention after focusing on Benjamin for so long so she took a few shots. His hair wasn't even combed but I ended up loving these. I just started talking to him and she just shot as we talked and I was amazed how many "classic Warren" expressions she captured. He is such a little character. I can't even remember what life was like without our Mr Warren. 
At the end of an almost 2 hour photo shoot Benjamin was getting a little tired and fussy....but its ok cause BIG brother got his back.
