We went with Humphries and my mom to Waxahachie to walk through the streets of Bethlehem. At first it was so crowded and I felt a little disappointed because I was in hopes of a spiritual experience. As we walked through I started to enjoy it. We let the crowd move on and then we could take our time. They actually had Mary riding through town on a donkey. They had the money changers,tax collectors, olive press wheel,Roman soldiers and they even talked to you as if you were in that time. It was a very busy time back then and they were busy so it was true to the way it was. The kids enjoyed it and as you can see Claire probably enjoyed it the most. Afterwards we drank hot chocolate and had cookies at the car. (The ending to a great night- Claire fell on the gravel and embedded one in her forehead. Blood was all over her face. She survived with a band-aid and a few tears) Oh and in case anyone is wondering where Hannah is well, right before we were walking out the door realized she had a project due the next day. So instead of hearing about it the whole time I sent her next door so her and her friend could work on it and she hopefully will learn not to wait until the last minute.
