Last year I had casually mentioned to Taylor that I wanted to make a nativity with him. I've also occasionally told him how much I've wanted to watch him make clay figures. Taylor use to do claymation movies in middle school and high school and is AMAZINGLY talented. I wanted to see him work his magic in real life. So on Saturday, while grocery shopping we saw some clay and decided to go for it. We decided on a duck nativity since our last name Drake means duck.
The wooden bird house shaped as a star was a perfect find for the nativity! We also added a drummer boy since Taylor loves the story of the drummer boy. We shaped all the white clay by hand and then cooked it in the oven.
We painted them the next day.

That turned out soo good!
This nativity is stunning!!! I absolutely LOVE it!!!! What a wonderful way to spend your first Christmas together as the Drake family! That was so sweet that Taylor remembered that you wanted to do that and to see him make clay art. I am just amazed at all the talent you guys have! Your kids are going to be A-MA-ZING like you guys! I am happy you and Taylor get along so well and are so much alike! You are definitely soul mates! Have a great day tomorrow! Love you! Mom
