The Road to Bethlehem

Last weekend we traveled to the little town of Delta for a walk-thru nativity called, The Road to Bethlehem.  We brought Ansley and my cousin, Chiara last year for the first time and they both loved it, so we thought it needed to be on our must-do Christmas list from there on out.  This year was no different, except that little Jansen came along this time and Charli was here to join in on the action too.  When you arrive, you are greeted by some ladies that hand you some coins for the marketplace and an angel ornament to take home with you.  While we waited, we sang along with a small band that played Christmas hymns to pass the time.  Ansley loved this part.      

So did Charli :)

Jansen wasn't really into getting his picture made, as you can see, but I wanted to get one of him anyway.

Ansley talked the whole night about seeing baby Jesus and then when we finally got to see him, she was indifferent.  Ha! Regardless, he was the star of the night!  

Ansley was quick to point out the 3 crosses that stood right outside of the exit, so we decided to take a quick family picture in front of them.

It was great to give Ansley a visual of what it was like when Jesus came to this Earth.  She really enjoyed it.  She was able to buy little things in the marketplace, see camels and other livestock while going through, and eat some chili and cookies afterwards.  She loved it, especially since Jansen was along. :)
