This past weekend we went down to my parent's house in Prescott Valley to enjoy some annual Christmas fun. We were met by my sister with two of her kids and my brother's kids. So, needless to say, there was a lot of energy! Our first stop was to one of the Resorts in town that hold an annual gingerbread contest. You walk through and check out all of the communities entries that are magnificent, and then afterwards the kids all get to decorate their own gingerbread man. The next stop was "Walk Through Bethlehem". A local church in town puts on basically a walk through play were they take you on a tour of Bethlehem on the night of Jesus birth. They use live animals, real babies, tons of decorations and costumes. The kids really get a kick out of it, and get to experience the first Christmas. While waiting for our turn at the walk through Bethlehem, there was an older man who was entertaining everyone. He was letting people get up and sing Christmas carols in the microphone to those who volunteered. So, all of the younger cousins decided to volunteer and sing Jingle Bells together. They really did a pretty good job. Our next stop was the Town Square Lighting. The kids had fun watching all the lights flip on and eating their gingerbread men from earlier in the day.

Looks like fun. I love those gingerbread house displays. How on earth do they get them looking so good? We always have trouble just keeping the walls from caving in (good thing I just design houses and not build them).
