Not a baby anymore!

    The time finally arrived for my baby to become a little boy.  Those fine wispy blond locks had to go.  They were tangled and getting food in them hourly and I saw no other option then to give him his first haircut!  Here's Baby Twain and then Big Boy Twain....

 Going,

 Going,

 Gone!

  

He's still pretty darn cute if you ask me and it's been nice not to have to look at the rats nest he usually has all over his head.

   We also had the neat experience of attending a Living Nativity this week.  Here in Alpine there's a family that started this tradition several years ago and we've never taken the opportunity to go but decided to give it a shot this year and it just might be our new tradition.  No doubt the spirit was felt as we got to walk into a room where a young couple stood over a live baby "Jesus".  It was really quite spectacular and despite the crowds of people it was well worth fighting the freezing cold weather to remember the true meaning of Christmas.  Here are just a couple shots of the kids petting the CAMELS.  I tried taking more photos but it was too dark.  It was so neat though, they had Roman soldiers roaming the trails and little stops along the way of the Wise Men sharing their experience, the shepherds, and several other cool Bethlehem scenes.  Anyone in the area should make the journey in the future if you can.  They only put it on for a few nights of the year and there's no charge but they do ask for donations that go towards the Huntsman Cancer Center and Operation Smile or something similar.  Anyway, here's the camels.

Super neat Christmas tradition and one I hope my kids won't forget and will want to attend again next year.  Hope you all had a fantastic week.
