Here we are waiting in line.
Freezing, and in line still. We waiting in line for over 1 hour, but it was totally worth it.
The kids infront of a real-live camel.
Here we are infront of Isaiah writing his prophecy of Christ being born.
Kids petting the camel.
Inside the bowery we were not allowed to take pictures, but it is incredible inside there. They have money changers, food vendors, rug weaving, chickens all over the place, donkey's, candle dippers, a father and his son as a carpenter.....just like Bethlehem. Then, you turn a corner and all the sudden is Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus. The baby Jesus was just looking up to the sky with a peaceful look on his face. It was so sweet. It is incredible. The spirit was so strong. The kids loved it and we loved it. Thanks to all those who put it on. So much work, but so worth it!

Thomas' family use to live in this stake, and it's great to see that this tradition has continued on through the years. We actually got to play Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus when KC was a couple months old. It was like the 2nd or 3rd year of doing it. They took a picture of us in the manger, and it is my favorite Christmas decoration to get out every year. It was such a neat experience, and we enjoy going every year as well. Makes KC feel special when we tell him he got to play the part of baby Jesus.
what an awesome experience! Maybe we should get a few more animals ( like a camel) and do that on our farm out here!
So fun for the kids to put it in real life. They do one here in Boise and when you go to the see the Christ child, you take up your bags of canned food that they donate to the Food Bank as your gifts to the Christ child. Sweet huh? By the way.... I LOVE your hat in your pictures! SO, SO cute on you.
