A walk through Bethlehem

 

 

 

(I know these iphone pics are awful, but the girls loved it so here it is)
We walked through a live Bethlehem at a local church. Live animals, great story, the girls were in awe. Baby Jesus, of course, was the highlight.

Ruldolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

 

 

The girls' class sang Christmas carols for one of the NASA parties. They sang six songs and had a great time. The reindeer antlers were funny...and distracting. Notice Julia is a horn above the rest. :)

Hello Santa!

Here it is. THE photo. The girls have always been scared of Santa. Last year they listened to him talk-- but they have never thought of touching him, talking to him, and certainly not sitting on his lap.
They kept telling me they would talk and sit with Santa when he came to school. Sure you will I thought. Well, they did---they sat with him, smiled, told him what they want for Christmas and took a photo. Too bad Tim and I missed it...luckily a friend got a photo. :)

So we went to see Santa again. Smiles on their faces and tears in my eyes. My little girls are growing up...so proud of them.
