Nativity Scene

Tonight after Diana went to bed, Jonathan and I went to his school to look at a live nativity scene and see live animals (goats, donkey, sheep).  I wish I would have video taped Jonathan but he was mesmerized by the nativity scene (which had middle school aged children dressed up) and just was taking it all in.  After our priest made a comment during his homily the other weekend about how this mom told her child that "they didn't have time" to look at baby Jesus while they were at the mall and how he reminded us all to make time for Jesus during the holiday hustle bustle, it made my day and maybe holiday season, adoring my child and how he was taking it all in.  He even wanted to stay and listen to the "story" that was being played over and over again and then after a shift change we had to go back and watch the nativity scene.  We did feed the goats, pet the donkey and get hot chocolate and a cookie but the nativity scene was the highlight.  This was something special just Jonathan and I got to do and I am happy we did.
