On a seperate note:

Our good friends, the Atwoods, invited us to go to "Bethlehem" for FHE last week. There is a church in Santa Clara that puts on a huge production - complete with the entire Bethlehem City, Roman soldiers, angels singing from rooftops, a live reenactment of the Nativity...the whole nine yards. Here are the pics:

Official regulation from Caesar to pay your taxes and sign the census "IN AN ORDERLY MANNER, WITHOUT INCIDENT!"

Complete with a live camel:

This is the second year that Kyle and I have gone to Bethlehem. The whole experience is so wonderful. I love remembering the birth of our Savior, and I am so grateful for the Christmas season.

~Merry Christmas~
