Journey to the Manger through the years

I think we have been to this live nativity scene almost every year that we have lived in Texas. It has become a special tradition in our family.

2009 Ages 6 and 4

2014 Ages 11 and 9

Arboretum 12 Days of Christmas

Today was so beautiful and the girls were feeling quite a bit better, so we decided to go spend a couple of hours to see the 12 days of Christmas displays before they take them down. They were very pretty and we had such a nice day.

We took the wagon so the girls wouldn't have to walk if they got tired which they did on the walk back, but at least spend some time outside on this beautiful day.

Christmas fun with friends

Katie had her Girl Scouts Christmas party. They made salt dough ornaments, had an ornament exchange and drank hot chocolate.

Lizzy got to go ice skating and caroling with friends. Katie missed it because she was sick.

Journey to the Manger

For the 7th year, we enjoyed going to the Journey to the Manger live Nativity scene and Bethlehem town. It has become a wonderful family tradition.

Lizzy's 9th Birthday Party

We celebrated Lizzy's birthday on December 6. She had a Barbie party. She wanted a sleepover, but we had church the next day so we did sort of a mock sleep over and finished up at 8.
