Merry Texmas Ya'll

December is here and we are trying to take some time this year to just do some things that we want to do and not be so scheduled.

We were driving through Marble Falls and along the lake they have a festival of lights. No schedule, on our own time so we were able to stop and enjoy the night.

This was a bonus since Austin isnt doing the Trail of lights for the second year in a row.

This is the first year that we have made it to Burnet, TX for the Main St. Bethlehem. I had always heard about it and wanted to see it. On this day, it had rained all day but was a really nice night. We only had to wait 20 minutes to get in. Some people wait over an hour and even this night it was very crowded inside.

So this is a live portrayal of what the city may have been like on the night that Jesus was born.

It was really neat to go in each of the buildings and see candles or rope being made. Guards were walking around and arresting people. Fresh bread was being baked in stone ovens. There were live animals including camels and donkeys. The Inn was very full and lots of people in it.

The last stop was seeing the little baby in a quite stable.

Logan was the only one that wanted to get in the chariot and he doesnt look too happy here.
