This year for our Ward Christmas Party (Friday 12/14) we were served a decree by Caesar Augustus that we were to be taxed and were to report to Bethlehem with a blanket to sit on, dressed in proper attire.
Here is our sweet Bethlehem Babes-Dacie, Colton (one of the 3 wise men), Ryland, & Sterling (one of the shepherds) all ready to go!
The primary children were asked to put on the Nativity at the function- You can see Sterling kneeling on the stage (the only one with a staff) in the background behind the coat of many colors boy center stage!
Colton practiced hard to remember his gift, find the star, and kneel before the Christ child. He is the one kneeling closest to us on the left w/ a shimmery red cloak and king hat (in front of the angels)
Colton playing with his crown~now that his part is over.The pictures were compliments of daddy since I was leading the music (the primary sang two songs and the audience sang four) He did it with Dacie and Ryland running around too-what a MAN!
The cultural hall looked AmAziNg! They had put some serious work into it. They totally transformed the place with cobblestone streets, a well to get our water, open market, starry sky, bonfire that worked...and so on. These pictures hardly do it justice. It was dark and I was trying to avoid the tax collectors, get the food at each market with the three boys, and be with our non-member neighbor who came with us! Sorry
You signed a census when you entered the door and were handed a bag of money that you took to each booth to receive part of your meal, that is, if the roman soldiers did not find you and tax you, taking your money!

What a great Christmas Party! Sorry we missed it! The kids looked adorable! I'm glad you and Dan had a good time at your work party also--sounds like it was a lot of fun! I think about the kids alot and wish they were here to look at the lights with and to read them Christmas stories. Aunt Gwen came last night and brought a couple of new books for them. Look forward to seeing you all sometime soon! Love you, Grandma S
