Journey to Bethlehem

The Neals and Eisermanns went on a Journey to Bethlehem put on by a local church. We started out in the city of Nazareth. We traveled with our "family" to pay our taxes in Bethlehem.
We saw the wise men with their camels and gifts. There were donkeys and lambs to pet.
The roman soldiers protected us during the journey from the thieves hidden along the path.

When we reached the city of Bethlehem we saw shops and other families.

Rachel was the smart one to bring a stroller. Julie was so nice to share it with Natalie. It was a long walk to Bethlehem in the freezing cold.Everyone gathered around Baby Jesus in the stable.


The kids loved playing in the church's indoor playland after the journey.

SNOW!

When we woke up on December 1st it was snowing.

Natalie wears winter clothes in the summer and summer clothes in the winter. The snow wasn't sticking to the roads so the kids still had to go to school.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm so glad that Dad knocked that wall out. Now we can all fit in one room for Thanksgiving.

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving with out "green jello",

Rasberry Slush,

and wrestling with Grandad.

Before and After Church

Its always fun for the Neals to see the Eisermanns coming to church when they are leaving.

Chloe is practicing leading music. What is Jaden doing?

Grandparents day at GES

Grandma came to visit the kids on Heritage day. Mitchell did a thanksgiving skit in his class room before they worked on making a place mat.
I looked down at John during Mitchell's skit and caught him picking his nose.

Kallie did a cute dance for all the grandparents with a cute boy named Pablo.

Pet Rocks

Mitchell was trying really hard not to make his rock pet look like a girl.
Natalie is getting really good at drawing people. I love it when their legs come straight out of their head.

Kallie found these two rocks sitting by a tree. Now they are k-i-s-s-i-n-g.


What a cute couple!
