Journey to Bethlehem

BACK POST!!

In December, we had the opportunity to attend a Jerusalem Christmas type event.  It was so cool!  They had a gym with different activities that you could do.  They also had rooms that each acted out a part of the Christmas story.  

I stole this picture from Cameron's friend Johnny.  It is of the angels telling the shepherds of Christ's birth.  

A not so good picture of the shepherd's room.  It literally smelled like sagebrush.  The backgrounds were painted beautifully.

They also had a room with a bunch of different nativities.

A beautiful display.

Another nativity.

They were all so different but all intricate and lovely.

The three wise men.

They also had live camels!!

All the people were dressed in Bethlehem-y outfits.  The bright lights washed out the pictures.

Melissa with the camels.

Me and the camel.  They were kind of stinky, but also cute.

The camel dudes.

They had a fake well in the middle of the gym, but it looked so real!

They also had a silhouette of a Bethlehem horizon.

Heidi learned how to write in Hebrew!  They also had a super cool wood ornament making station.  

The King Herod room.

Okay, I'm sorry for this next comment.  But, I really feel the need to point out how amazing his tight shiny pants are.  Pretty darn cool.  

They did such a great job saying their parts and communicating the story.

Love it.  

Afterwards, we went to see a house that had it's lights synced with some Christmas songs.  It was super, super cool!  

Thanks for being patient with my catch-ups from 2014.

Love you guys so much!
