Christmas Season Activities








Lauren and Davis in front of the Trail of Lights entrance.


This is the "Zilker Tree"--it goes almost to the ground and stands VERY tall..you spin underneath it for a crazy time!











Davis, Madelyn, and Lauren on the Yule Log...

























This is our year to do holiday activities with the kids that we have not done in years. Last weekend, we drove over to Burnet, Tx to see their production of "Little Town of Bethlehem". This is an outside area designed to look like Bethlehem the night Jesus was born. They have camels, goats, Roman soldiers, people dressed up and acting just like the townspeople back then. "Shalom's" are heard as well as people talking about the coming of Christ.

The drive up is a little over an hour then we waited 1.5 hr. to tour the "town." It happened to be a chilly night, 50 outside, so that made the wait drag on a bit. Davis had never been and Lauren went when she was 3. So this was a good time to see it again!

Last night, we drove downtown Austin to see the annual "Trail of Lights" the city puts on in Zilker Park. This is over 42 companies that come into the park and decorate the trees and a certain "area" in a theme. We saw everything from Spongebob to Snoopy, to the 3 Wise Men.
