Christmas in Bethlehem!

Last night this church put on a "Bethlehem Village" event where they had folks dressed up as soldiers, Joseph, Mary, the shepherds, some village people, etc., so we all went to it and even though it rained it ended up being a lot of fun! They had a puppet show, live nativity where they performed the First Christmas, a petting zoo, llama rides, arts and crafts, snacks and hot drinks and more. Conner's favorite part was of course the petting zoo and snacks, but he even got to participate in the crafts decorating a pine-cone.

I didn't take a single pic as I forgot my camera, but I'm so glad we went as it made it feel a bit more like Christmas! Thanks so much Feli for finding this event and Michael for getting us out the door even tho the odds were against us. :) Sure am glad I didn't miss it.

We just got a letter... :)

Well, you will anyway. After an hour wait to take the pictures and a 3 hr wait to get them ("long wait, part of gift"), I finally have our Christmas cards done and in the mail -- hurray! So keep a look out for them. Merry Christmas to one and all.

"Noah, Noah" and Conner dancing

Conner just LOVES the song "Noah, noah!" from music CD "Great Adventures" and he's just the cutest thing dancing to it. I've been trying to get a good clip of it to post, but it's pretty hard to catch as he'll stop and want to see the moment I pull out the camera (he's just too into electronics!). Anyway, I finally got a clip of him dancing from the back and here it is.
