Cobb Christmas 2007

We had a wonderful and whirlwind Christmas this year. We began with "A Walk Through Bethlehem" at a church in Bakersfield the Saturday before Christmas. It was a great re-enactment of what Bethlehem may have been like at the time of Jesus' birth. Most importantly, we got to spend some time reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas. The girls are anxious to go back to Bethlehem and are thouroughly convinced that Bethlehem is in the parking lot of the 7th Day Adventist church in Bakersfield. Sunday we traveled to Fresno where we enjoyed Christmas with Keri's brother and sister and their families. Christmas Eve day, we made a very fun and very cold trip to the zoo with Gitty, Auntie Kelly and Cameron. We went to a Christmas Eve service with Keri's mom and brother and spent the evening enjoying dinner at Keri's brother's house and watching the cousin's play together. Christmas morning there was a knock at the door and low and behold, it was Santa! Grace and Sarah thought this was very cool, Hannah wasn't too sure and Cameron hid in his bedroom the whole time. We had a fun morning opening gifts and took the kids to the park in the afternoon for sack races, soccer and baseball. We are home now and have spent the last couple days catching up on laundry and sleep.
