(This does not include the many people behind the scenes)

 In the center are the couple playing Joseph and Mary and the actual parents of the newborn baby.

Here is a close-up photo of the couple playing Joseph and Mary.  They are from our ward.

 Our assignment was check-in on Sunday evening in the Cultural Hall.  There were 6 performances that night and each performance was attended by about 500 people.

It was fun to see lots of people we knew and even some friends from the temple

 A family wanted to get a photo with their Dad playing a Roman soldier

 Before the performance there is some activity for people to watch while they are waiting inside

 After we got the last performance checked-in, our leaders told us we could hurry and join the group so we could watch the last performance.  Dan took this picture of the shepherds on our way down.
