We braved the VERY cold weather this weekend to visit a Bethlehem Revisited program by a church in Woodford County. They transformed their hallway into the streets of Bethlehem and used a tent in the back for the marketplace and the stable. They had real fish, meat, shoe making, bread, etc. It was very realistic and I really learned a lot about the details of life during the time when Jesus was born. Sarah was a little scared by the "beggar children" crying, but we explained that it was just pretend and she did just fine. She was excited by the many animals in the stable, but she was most excited to see "Baby Jesus" in the arms of his mommy. I have included photos of the visit in the slide show below. It was a great learning tool for Sarah and an enjoyable event for us as well.
I also included some of our attempts to get a quality Christmas photo in front of the tree this weekend. Check your mailbox to see which photos we chose!
Until then, stay warm,

Angie, I checked out the blog you told me about, and in the first post was a picture of my dear friend Jason! What a small world it is. Jason and I have been friends since we lifeguarded together as teenagers, and he is my brother's best friend.
BTW, yes, that blog made me cry!!! What a heart that girl has.
It is good to hear from you again. I hadn't seen your blog before. Your daughter is sooo beautiful! (PS I'm double posting this on my blog too.)
