The Holy Family

For the last three years, our church has recreated Old Bethlehem at the time of Jesus' birth. It's a really cool experience. The whole church is transformed and everyone participating is in character. Visitors walk through and see everything from store merchants, a wedding feast, people stomping grapes to make wine, a funeral processional, the inn and the stable with live animals and of course Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. That is where we came in. We were asked to be the Holy family for two hours on Sunday night. Of course we couldn't pass it up.

Miles made a great baby Jesus. He slept for about 45 minutes and only fussed for about 15 minutes. Baby Jesus cried, right? I think he was just a little overwhelmed with all the people that followed the star to come and see him.

Noni and JoJo brought Miller up to see Old Bethlehem and us. Noni told him to go see baby Jesus and he said, "that's not baby Jesus, that's Miles."

What a special memory to share with Miles when he gets older.
