Last week we went to a live nativity scene called Night of Miracles with our amazing neighbors, Justin and Vanessa. It was actually really cool! They took us into a tent and gave us a gold coin because we were traveling to Bethlehem to pay taxes. They had a village set up that looked real. They had sheperds and sheep in the distance. There was a part where angels came to sing to the sheperds. They had a real HUGE camel wandering around too. It was awesome, but brought back scary memories to Zach of the time in Afghanistan when he tried to ride a camel and was almost attacked by a camel. Needless to say we didn't get too close to the camel. They had a llama and Roman soliders who collected our tax money. Zach gave his to a blind man who was begging for money however. What an amazing man! ;) haha then we watched Mary and Joseph ride in on a donkey and all of the nativity come to life. It was really fun! It was a great reminder of what Christmas is all about. Sky LOVED watching it too. She kept pointing to baby Jesus and saying, "Momma, is that baby Jesus? Oh so cute!" I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season and remember what Christmas is really about.
The light behind the angel represents that star and you could see it from miles away.
Merry Christmas!
