ok, this should have been before the Christmas party stuff, but oh well :) The week before Christmas, when it was reallllly cold and snowy my mom, Liz, my cousin Taylor, Jonah and I went to the Critter Barn to see the animals and the live nativity. Jonah loved seeing the baby chicks and duckies (although he didn't want to hold them!) and the bunnies (including one that looked like a small fluffy dog!), goats, sheep, cows, and Baby Jesus. They had lots of pictures of what Bethlehem would have looked like when Jesus was born, told the story of seeing the star from the perspective of a 10 year old shepherd girl, and had a live nativity scene with kids dressed as Mary, Joseph, and shepherds, surrounded by hay and lots of animals.
In the busyness of the season this was a good reminder about what its all really about... not presents and shopping and parties and lots of food, but that precious baby born that first Christmas morning. 
believe it or not, this is a bunny!
