Our Journey to Bethlehem

Last night we took our long journey to Bethlehem... Kentucky (about 30miles away). We sang Christmas songs and looked at all the Christmas lights on our way to see this live nativity.


It was cold and we were all bundled up in lots of layers.

The live nativity was so neat. The people in the tiny town of Bethlehem, Kentucky do this every year and take turns in the nativity scene (they must have been FREEZING!). The stable even had real animals in it including a donkey, a cow, and two sheep that the kids enjoyed feeding.





I loved that we were able to go as a family and do something fun but also focus on the true meaning of Christmas. As we drove away I felt such gratitude for this little town who do this great service to all who make the journey to Bethlehem.

Again thanks to our dear friends (practically family) Kristine and Brett for leading the way.

What a wonderful way to spend an evening close to Christmas. We sure hope you have a wonderful Christmas, and next year we hope it is a Journey to West Point!

Love,
