Bethlehem

Each year, churches in a certain area of the city get together to put on a "Bethlehem" day for the children .  It takes place outside, in the grounds of one of the big churches, and there are people acting out various events in the Christmas story (kiddie style of course) and a live nativity where the kids can hold and pet little animals. Noah loved holding the rabbits!  They also had a manger scene set up where you had to dress up and take photos.  Yes, we looked ridiculous...the things you do to make your children happy!  Noah was a bit apprehensive of the costume initially, but he soon warmed to it and loved being a "king".  And Anna was a fairly cooperative baby Jesus.
