We went to Isaac's basketball game at 9.  He doesn't really know the game yet so looks a little lost.  He was standing under the basket and caught the ball, threw it up and made a basket and scored 2 points for his team.  He didn't even know he made it. ha ha.  We were all so happy!  It was a very close game.  Our team had 9 points and the other team had 10 points.  Bill and I went to Home Depot after that, then he worked on Christmas lights, and on the pillars of the house.  I worked on a puzzle for a while.  It's a hard one.  We met the kids and their families at the Living Nativity.  I love this family tradition.  It is so meaningful and great way to focus on the true meaning of Christmas.  Love sitting in the church singing Christmas Carols and then going as a family with our shepherd as his family.  We walk and listen to the shepherds tell us they heard a king has been born, go through the mean Roman soldiers, Get our scrolls stamped, Walk through Bethlehem and see the camel, donkeys, goats and other animals. Then we get to the Inn and there is no room for us to stay.  The Innkeeper sent us to his stable around the corner.  As we are walking there, the shepherds come out and are excited and telling us the Savior has been born.  Then we turn the corner and there is the stable with Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus.  Very touching.  Our shepherd prayed with us at the entrance to the fellowship hall.  We had cookies and orange drink, cocoa, or coffee and had a great time visiting.  Such a fun tradition!
