We braved frostbite to go see the Live Nativity again this year. It was COLD but it was Katie's first time going and we really loved it as much as last year. You catch a ride over to it in the back of a horse trailer. Then you are met at the bottom of the hill and told how to get to Bethlehem. You hike up the hill to the Bethlehem barn where you see the nifty animals & see them weave baskets, make bread & do other things they would have done in Bethlehem. Then you leave Bethlehem and go to the stable where baby Jesus is. They have a REAL LIVE NEWBORN baby there. It is so cool. After you enjoy that for awhile there is free hot chocolate and, if you are lucky like Drew, a near-smooch by a passing Roman soldiers horse!

A passing Roman soldier. I decide to try to get a picture.
The Roman soldier says "How about one with my horse smooching your husband?" One of those truly priceless moments.

He should have kissed the horse. That would have made such a cute picture.
And they had a REAL newborn? Poor little thing- it looks like it was cold! I wonder how you volunteer your baby for that.
I think the horse should have kissed HIM! And yes, they had a newborn last year too! But the barn the baby is in is actually heated, so it's not cold at all. We'll have to check next year and see if they have another newborn baby!
