Every year on the first Saturday of December, Nauvoo hosts a "Christmas Walk". It isn't quite as well-attended as the "Pumpkin Walk" (probably because it's freezing), but it is still really fun. There were all kinds of things to do. Stella and I went to see Santa and then we went on a "tasting tour" of a few hotels in town. They looked so pretty with all their decorations! If I didn't have a house here, there are a few places that I would love to stay. After that, we attended the community Christmas Concert, including Stella's first dance performance. Her group danced to "We Wish You A Merry Christmas". They looked so cute!!! She is having a lot of fun in dance. I recorded it but apparently the file is too big to post here so I guess pictures will suffice. That night, we went to the tree lighting at the visitor's center and then saw a live nativity done by the senior missionaries. It was really cool even with 60 year old Mary and Joseph! There were other things we could have done but Siena wasn't feeling well so we were trying to keep her home as much as possible. Christmas in Nauvoo is awesome! I am glad to be going home though.
