We are on Day 9 already! Wow! I know some of you said you're getting close, let's see if you can get any closer today:
On Sunday evening, Eric and I drove over to a program a church was putting on called Walk Through Bethlehem. It was quite crowded when we were there, as there were many children interested in petting the camels, goats, sheep, and donkey. :) There were "shops" in the little town, and in several, they had samples of things you could bring as gifts to the baby Jesus in the manger later on. Farther along the path, past the town and animals, there was a star lit up over the manger scene.
As we stood there, a lady was reading out passages of Scripture pertaining to the birth of Christ. When she came to the part about the wise men, three men came up with their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. There were some very cute little toddlers giving their little gifts they had gathered in the village, too. :)
On the way back to the car, we stopped for free hot chocolate and cookies. Yay! It was a fun evening and made good memories!
