last night at church, we had our annual night in bethlehem. we all had a really good time going. we had dinner and then after dinner we made all kinds of christmas ornaments, an advent wreath and then made our to bethlehem. we had so much fun - all of us! this year kev wasn't able to go with us, due to our commitment as confirmation counselors. he ended up helping with confirmation while i took the girls to "bethlehem."
this year our journey to bethlehem took us through the streets of newnan where we ended up at the "stable." i must say that probably one of my favorite things last night was our walk to the "stable." the weather was so nice - not to cold and no rain! just a peaceful walk through the brisk night air. when we arrived at the "stable" baby jesus along with mary and joseph could be seen. (lacey of course was having a fit over baby jesus like she always does.) the christmas story was read and the most sweetest voice of an angel sang away in a manger. it was truly a moving experience for me!
i'm so looking forward to the next few weeks as we celebrate the season of advent and the arrival of baby jesus. if last night was any indication of what lies ahead in the next few weeks it will definitely be an exciting and memorable time for all of us.
