Journey To Bethlehem

When we attended Windham Bible Chapel, the church started a very cool Holiday event. Families were brought through different stations, by a guide, to hear about the Christmas Story. It was a live and interactive Nativity. Very fun and something that many people in the area have come to for the past several years, every year. It's a part of many traditions. We decided to bring Ewoyn this year. Grammy and Grampa Ouellette joined us. It was fun, and thankfully the fact we are still friends with the Pastor, or that we had a baby, not sure which, we were brought to the head of the line...which was about a 1 hour wait avoided! Yeah! Ewoyn was enthralled the whole time. She took it all in. I think her high point was meeting a real live donkey, being the animal lover that she is. Side note: On the ride home we counted and Ewoyn knows at least 22 different animals sounds and can correctly give them when requested!! I think that this point she is limited by our lack of knowing what sounds other animals make...Here is the list, with a couple funny additions at the bottom.

donkey
monkey
cow
sheep
alpaca (no joke)
duck
chicken
rooster
bird
snake
frog
bunny (it goes hop hop)
dog
cat
goat
goose
horse
pig
owl
bear
lion
tiger
(admittedly the last three do all sound very similar)


Santa (hohoho)
Pirate (says Arrggh)
When asked where her name comes from she says "Tolkien"
When asked what 1 plus 1 is, she replies two (though there is more of a d, then a t sound)

Here we are at the Journey to Bethlehem...is this the first picture of me that I posted here? Not sure, but it just might be!
