For our ward Christmas Party this year we had "A Night in Bethlehem". All the families in the ward dressed up as shepherds or Bethlehem citizens and w
e ate on the floor on blankets.We had to "buy" our food with jems from the money changers and we got to go from one food stand to the next.
As we sat eating what we purchased, a tax collector came by and taxed us. Then we had a program including the Nativity scene. The boys REALLY loved this activity, it really got to their imaginations. It was difficult for them to eat on the blanket however, and I quickly regretted having them wear white outfits!
Christmas morning it was pretty obvious Santa had come to town. The boys were so excited, waking us up WAY too early.
Santa brought them all slippers, set out neatly by their filled stockings.
Christmas day was filled with many hustlings and bustlings.
We opened
presents, had a Christmas breakfast, made a gingerbread choo choo train, had the missionaries over for Christmas dinner, gave them stockings that Santa had left for them, cleaned up, packed and left for Utah! PHEW!! What a day!
