A couple of weeks ago we took Quade to something called "Journey to Bethlehem" at my sister's church in Grapevine (Church at the Cross). It was AWESOME! We did have to wait awhile to get in but they had a puppet show and singing, etc. while you were waiting. Then a group of 30 of us started the journey. They had church members dressed in biblical times clothing. We were supposed to be a jewish family traveling back to bethlehem for the census. It was incredible. It started inside and then went in through the woods. They had roman centurions on real horses, live animals and camels. Here's quade with the sheep:
We got to northpark to get a ticket to see santa. When we got there it was all set up for santa (like a comfy home with fireplace and tree). Quade looks at me and says "Where's Jesus?"
HA! what a sweet boy! I told him this story was about a nice man named "Saint Nicholas" and he was known for giving toys to children. He was good with that.
Fortunately Price did not have any comments or questions. =)
Here is the pic from the event:
This picture is dark but it's of our "guide" knocking on the inn door and us discovering there is no room in the inn. Quade decided to join him on stage.
My sister andrea played one of the villagers (they had an amazing village set up).
At the end they have the stable with mary, joseph and baby jesus. quade loved the whole thing. Even though he didn't get to bed until 10:45!!
So the week before christmas i decided to take the boys to see santa. It was a great tradition in my family...get all dressed up, go downtown, eat at the "tearoom", ride a train, and then go see santa.

Our church used to have a similar event called the Bethlehem Project. It was awesome. I would love it if they brought it back.
Great photo with Santa. We did not have good luck this year.
I'm impressed that Quade wasn't scared of Santa. I've heard two is a hard age for a Santa visit. We never made it to Santa this year - but next year for sure!
We want a Santa picture. It is so cute and Price is looking so old. We can hardly wait to see them both.
