Tonight we went, with mommy and daddy's church group, to the Holy Walk. We got to ride on a real school bus from the parking lot to the church! That was a lot of fun. When we got to the church, we went inside to sing some Christmas hymns and watch "Mary" tell us about why they were going to Bethlehem while we waited for our groups turn to take the walk.
When it was finally our turn, our "family" went out into the cold and ran into some angels while we were on our way to Bethlehem. They were talking about a very special baby being born that night. As we kept going, Roman soldiers kept jumping out at us and yelling at us. Since our "family" were goat herders, they kept telling us that we stunk. One of the soldiers asked me what my goat's name was and I told him I didn't have a goat. That wasn't the right answer! Luckily, they let me stay with my "family" anyway.
We kept going and eventually came to the city. We had to show our papers to lot of different soldiers. That was hard for me because I kept dropping mine. Luckily mommy was paying attention and kept picking them up for me. We paid our taxes and got our papers stamped and then went into the city. That was kind of scary! It was really loud. People kept trying to sell us things, people were yelling, there was a lot of music being played. It was crazy. I held on to mommy's leg most of the time, so I wouldn't get lost.
We kept going through the city, following the star we saw until we got to the stable where the special baby was. It was Baby Jesus!! (Not a real baby, because it was really, really cold, just a doll baby) There were also some real donkeys there too. I got to pet them!
Afterwards, we went back in to the church for a little bit to have some cookies and some hot chocolate. Then we took a van back to the parking lot and back to our car.
We got to go to Pizza Sam's for supper. I'd never been there before, so it was kind of exciting. They have a place where little kids like me can stand at a window and watch them make the pizzas! The man that was making pizzas threw flour at my friend Andrew and me and he threw some pizza dough at us, too! It's a good thing there was a window there. The pizza was really good.....so good that I ate two whole pieces!
