And The Part of Baby Jesus goes to...


The youngest baby in the church.



Our baby boy seemed like the perfect candidate to play the role of baby Jesus therefor J and I are Mary and Joseph for this year's Christmas program. We did 2 appearances on Sunday and E was a natural. 



We are going to be doing a flash mob at The Florence Mall this Sunday December 23.


I am pretty excited about it. It will be my first time doing anything like this. The December traditions new and old have been a welcome guest in our lives lately.


The past couple weeks have been filled with baking, parties, and shopping (along with all the mundane responsibilities that I am not going to think about right now because it's Christmas time!). 



We've gone to two different light displays, one of which is the only underground light display in the world.



 One of my favorite evenings consisted of watching White Christmas while drinking hot chocolate with candy canes as stir sticks. We even ate Turkish Delight straight from Turkey. My parents had an exchange student from Turkey 6 years ago and he still sends a Christmas package every year. 
Another night we were going to see Santa at the local parade, but it ended up being a bust because of the weather. It literally rained on our parade. No biggie, there is still so much to look forward to. It's been 2 years since my family celebrated Christmas together and we've added two new members since then. I don't even know how we are going to fit all of the presents under the tree. According to our Christmas tree countdown on the fridge, which Z faithful updates daily, there are only  10  6 days left.



 I can hardly wait!

How fun to get to play the role of Jesus & his parents! :) I've never been part of a flash mob, but maybe one of these days! It sounds like y'all are making the most of the season. I bet you'll have a wonderful time with your family!

P.S. I told you something in my blog post today! I could totally tell you now, but I'll let you read it there when you get a chance! :)
