Last December I learned about an amazing live nativity put on by an Adventist church in a neighboring town the weekend it was being held. As a result, it was too late to get the free tickets for admission, but was luckily able to reserve them in time for this holiday season. Tonight, Ron, the kids, and I all bundled up and braved the freezing weather to make this incredible journey through Bethlehem. The church did an amazing job recreating the nativity story and I especially appreciated having it brought to life for Lia. In fact, at one point, one of the actors slipped her a golden coin and told her to hide it from the Roman guards. Later on in the journey, Lia whispered to me that we needed to hide our coins "from the Roman." So cute! It was a wonderful way to remember the true reason for the season!
The kids and I beginning our journey through Bethlehem.
Cute, bundled up Logie giving me his "cheese" smile. He especially loved all of the live animals we encountered through the tour.
We got to see the wise men,
live camels,
a bustling market place in Bethlehem,
cranky inn keepers,
wicked tax collectors,
angels on high,
and most especially a LIVE baby Jesus with Mary and Joseph.
