Walk through Bethlehem

We went to church for a "Walk through Bethlehem" and it was amazing! Claire loved it, she couldn't wait to see Baby Jesus and couldn't stop talking about the camels, donkey and goats! It was a great afternoon and she knows the whole nativity story and characters. If you ask her what happened on the very first Christmas she'll tell you that baby Jesus was born! Too precious!


Waiting patiently in line to see Baby Jesus
Visiting the village of Bethlehem
Checking out the main attraction; Joseph, Mary & Baby Jesus
Even on a rainy cold day the camels, donkey and "muddy goats" were awesome!

Presents, presents!

Tis the Season

Well, after a busy, over scheduled and hectic week I have accomplished quite the "to do" list! We have a tree that is up and decorated, the house is about 90% done, inside and out (and seriously doubt the other 10% will get done, so I'm happy), the house is clean, the Christmas cards are mailed out, Santa has finished shopping and thanks to Uncle Tyler about 90% of the other shopping is done, I've started to wrap and will hopefully be done after the weekend and the holiday festivities are well under way. So I've decided that for the rest of the month I'm going to enjoy the holiday season & spirit and anything else that doesn't get done, will just have to wait til next year! Merry Christmas....14 days left!! Ho Ho Ho!

Breakfast with Santa

We woke up to SNOW!!!
Claire loved it and wanted to touch it and have to touch her face
Ms Claus was her favorite, she called her grandma and kept saying she's nice and sweet!
So much fun with my good friend Jackson
Yes, we got a Santa picture, but not with out mama and daddy
Santa arrived on the fire truck, so we had to check that out too!
Fun morning with friends
