Interfaith Festival Outdoor Nativity

 Tiffany Richter was in charge of the Interfaith Nativity Festival for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  She asked Jonathan and Dylan if they might be willing to build an outdoor nativity for her.
Dylan and Jonathan designed it and this is what they came up
I think it turned out awesome!
