Baby Pirate

This holiday season I've made a special effort to help Rachel understand that Christmas isn't just about Santa, but it's about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.  We've been learning about Mary & Joseph, the angel, shepherds, etc.  (Thank you, Friend magazine for providing a cute scripture tree activity this month to make it easy on me.)

While the YW President was over at my house to pick something up, Rachel randomly noticed a unique nativity scene that I had in the front room that she hadn't ever seen before.  The figurines are tall and skinny and it looks like cracked glass.  Rachel brought the Baby Jesus figurine to us and said, "Look, mom, it's a baby pirate!"

She can identify all are other nativity scenes, but is convinced this one is not Jesus, but a baby pirate (probably because she knows I'll give her a good reaction).  I think the whole "true meaning of Christmas" is going really well.  So does Sister Sibley, the YW President.
