Visiting Bethlehem

This morning we visited the little town of Bethlehem. Emily's preschool has an event each year called the Bethlehem Walk where you get to walk thru the city streets and at the end you can see Baby Jesus in the manger with the shepherds and magi coming to worship Him. We've tried for several years to go and have always missed it. So we went this morning when they had a special opening for all the local preschools.
It was very cold this morning and I didn't dress us warmly enough. It took a while for Emily to get into visiting the booths. She was very shy at first. I felt bad for her because by the time she got excited about it and wanted to see more, Abigail started crying and let me know that she was really tired of being out in the cold. So shortly after we left. I guess one of the many times Emily will need to sacrifice a little for her baby sister. By the time we got home, Abigail was sleeping soundly and the stinker slept for the next 2 hours! Oh well, I guess on the bright side we added a little reality to the manger scene with the sounds of a real baby crying : )
