Tonight we took the kids to see the First Baptist Church of Oak Park's live outdoor nativity, "Journey to Bethlehem." Five scenes (the appearance of the angel to Mary, the journey to Bethlehem, Herod's throne room, the shepherds' field and the stable) tell the Christmas story with live actors and - best of all - live animals. It was so cool to see the double-humped camel up close and personal. They even had a real baby playing Jesus. L saw two of her friends from school there, so she was excited. I think the kids' favorite part was the free hot chocolate and cider the church members passed out before you walk along the scenes.
