Christmas Parade and a Journey to Bethlehem

The boys and I went to the Christmas Parade with some of our favorite friends!

In the van after the parade..
I asked them what their favorite part of the parade was..

Levi said - "THE RUBBER DUCKY!"

Ian said - "the drums"  

His head was bobbing and his hands were clapping to all of the marching bands.

and I think Teya said

"the dog in the stroller!"

After the parade..we went to a local church
for a journey to bethlehem

Paying taxes to Cesar

Ian making bread

Petting a donkey

There were several drama performances through out the town of Bethlehem... 

(above) Mary & Joseph were asking if there is room in the inn

This was a wonderful reminder that....

JESUS is the true reason that we celebrate CHRISTMAS!

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."
Luke 2:11
