Every December our Church, Houston's First Baptist, puts on a Christmas activity day for young kids. This year was our second year to enjoy the wonderful morning!
We started the day with icing cookies and decorating them with sprinkles.
We got a family picture while Maddie rode a sheep and Allie rode a pony.
Then it was our turn to enter the "One Starry Night" part - the highlight.
Maddie petting a baby goat
Entering Bethlehem
Petting a duck - yes a real live duck. It quacked and nipped a little
Then a chicken....
We made nativity ornaments
Heard about the birth of Christ and the Angel visiting the Shepards
Once again, the highlight this year was holding baby Jesus! Thankfully, Mary graciously agreed.

Along the way, we also decorated crowns, painted star ornaments, jumped in a bounce house, and watched a puppet show. We are so grateful for all the volunteers who make this day a special holiday tradition and memory for our family.
