Olivia told me a few days ago..." I REALLY want to meet baby Jesus".
So last night we went to a live nativity, it hopes of seeing a baby Jesus.
Jonny was trying to get some work done for finals and wanted to have some peace
and quiet in the house. I decided to take the kids to see this live nativity. It was very rainy and very far away....but we made it, and it was nice. We were threatened by roman guards (which olivia loved) and of course we pet some wet donkeys.
The actors were dressed really cute in their costumes and they kept olivia entertained with the singing and what not. The last stop of the "tour" we went into a little shelter and we saw angels and Mary and Joseph...and baby Jesus.
It really was quite touching watching Olivia stare at that baby. We got a cookie and cup of cocoa and then headed on our way.
In the car we talked about how those people were only actors telling us the story of Jesus' birth. About how baby Jesus grew into a man and that he isn't a baby anymore. "yeah, i know" liv said "that baby wasn't really baby Jesus, because that baby had WAY to much hair".
