On Monday I took the kids to Tuacahn to see the live nativity. It was cold and crowded but so worth it! We watched a little choir perform before going into the amphitheater. Kylie and Hayden sat so well and were completely immersed in the live retelling of Jesus' birth. They always got super excited when a horse or donkey came on stage, but they were ecstatic to see the camels.
Then Kylie did some rolling down the hill while we waited for the Christmas Train ride.
They loved the "train" ride, but were both thoroughly frozen afterwards and happy to head home. I really loved taking them to a live nativity!! I think it helped them realize more what Christmas is all about.
Other highlights of the week:
I did my first ever French Braid in Kylie's hair! She was awesome and sat so still while I restarted five times...
Hayden was pretty sick all week... lots of throwing up and diarrhea - but only at night. Go figure. Basically he got to the point where there are no sheets on his bed - just towels. Poor kid! He's thankfully feeling a lot better now!
Kylie also turned herself into a Christmas tree!
We received a few Secret Santa gifts to the family this week. It's so humbling to be on the receiving end of these acts of service. The kids absolutely loved it and since we were going to be out of town for Christmas I let them open their gifts. Whichever individuals got us gifts really know us because the kids gifts were perfect! One of the most favorite was a little cash register. Kylie and Hayden played store for quite a while before bedtime!
Now we are getting all packed up to head up north to be with family for Christmas!! So excited!!
