The Live Nativity....Even the animals were live

The singers in the bank were a great hit with our group

Watching and listening

The line to ride the horse drawn carriage was long and we were tired and cold
Becky said the kids could have ice-cream instead of the ride and all four kids were very happy with that
Back At The Hineses

Becky reading to Erin and Daphne....Watching TV with Simba (or, as Erin refers to him, the Rainbow Cat)

The girls wanted Grandma Kathy to read to them....Why yes, that is a picture of Owen on the table
