back to bethlehem

since moving up here to palm beach we have found this lovely presentation of "bethlehem" that is put on by a local church. they have shepherds with real sheep, shops, guards, etc... everything is supposed to be as authentic as possible so all the people stay in character the whole time visitors are passing through. it is really cool. this year we had mauricio's mom and some good friends with us. too bad it rained most of the time but we still had a great time.

are they in time out?

savannah looks like she should be one of the residents in bethlehem.

these people were doing a demonstration of shabbat.

i think we can see how gracie feels about the whole situation.

sarah a bit taken by the roman soldier.

after you travel through the whole city there is a nice tent with hot cocoa, hot cider, cookies, popcorn and candy canes. and free pics with a roman soldier. i think the kids liked this part the best.

as you can see by mauricio's shirt the guys got a bit wet.

i will one day get the rest of december posted! hopefully tomorrow!
