This and That of the Season!

On November 28th we decorated the tree, it was a fun family event. Everyone got involved, which was nice! And afterwards we all enjoyed a cup of hot choc or hot apple cider, and some cookies! 

Then on the 29th we drove to a town about an hour away to a live nativity. We have been to live nativities before but this one was quite different...... they got us all involved, and took us back into the time of Jesus' birth.....including paying the tax collector, getting robbed, going through the loud market place, the children begging on the street. It was so well done! And thankgoodness it wasn't too terribley cold out either! :) We went with a few friends.
