Christmas Day 2008

Here I am opening my presents Christmas Day. I had a good time and got tons of presents.

Play Day!!

Today after my afternoon nap mommy took me over to Joshua's house for a play date! I was so surprised when I got there as my other friend Brandon was also there, boy I bet we are going to have a great time! We played with the train set and he also had a bike that was fun. Mrs. Morgan also had great snacks for us to enjoy. After a couple of hours we had to go :( I had a great time and can't wait to get to play with my friends again!

A Night In Bethlehem

December 20th our church hosted a Night in Bethlehem. Mommy helped plan and set everything up so Daddy took me to the church and we met mommy there. Once we arrived we signed up for the census. We had our pictures taken as a family and then I got to strum the harps! It was kinda like playing daddy's guitar (don't tell him I told you that!) From there we went to the carpentry shop where I made a dreidel. Pastor Darrel helped me pound in the spinner so I wouldn't hammer my fingers. Then I got to go to the spice shop and smell myrrh and frankensince along with some other spices I haven't heard of before. The next shop along the strip was the jewelry shop where I got to make a beaded necklace. On our way to the craft shop to make an ornament, we ran into our good friends the Wolf's and stopped to talk with them. Once at the craft shop daddy made us an ornament to take home he said that the glue gun was too hot for me to use, so I watched and I got to help finish decorating it. The pottery shop, candy shop and bakery was the next shops. I loved the bread and candy! I also got a thing of play-doh at the pottery shop. While we were walking in Bethlehem these 3 guys kept asking if we could help them find a star? What is this all about? We only had one more stop to make and that was the stable. Once we got to the stable there was a baby! We were told that it was a special baby and that an angel had told Mary she was going to have a baby and that she was to name him Jesus! After we saw the baby, I had to go check out the sheep. I had only seen sheep in my books and our nativity set at home, but never real live wooly sheep! They were real nice and they even let me pet there soft fur. That concluded our Night in Bethlehem!
