You never know in Fremont

Two words to describe this weekend....Sugar high!
I had been planning a small get together to make gingerbread houses for a couple weeks. Why, I don't know. I filled my cart at Wal-mart (of course) full of anything that contained more than 95% sugar. I got a little carried away. I posted death threats to help guard my treasures hoping they would make it to Sunday. But before the Gingerbread extravaganza I was scheduled to help frost sugar cookies at my grandma's house with my cousins. Billy had plans he couldn't cancel, sleep, so it was just me to represent my family at the event. Two of my younger cousins and I frosted cookies until our fingers hurt. I have to say we are getting more creative. There was the Santa with bugs eating his beard, Christmas trees with wings, and Santa's with their beards cut off. Blame MTV.
Sunday came...GINGERBREAD house day! I got everything ready and excited to see everyone that was able to come. Had some good laughs trying to compete with one another while trying to save our houses from crumbling. I was going to be all Martha Stewart and make real gingerbread but why go through the pain when the house is just going to sit and rot Christmas after Christmas (okay, I like to save mine). Got a little freaky when the snowmen started dying and red food coloring was used to make a more dramatic effect. The party wrapped up and a couple of us decided to go into town. Why come all the way to Fremont and not check out the sights.
On our way home, we came across something that only can be pulled off in Fremont. As we were leaving from dinner we noticed the search lights in the sky and wondered what was demanding everyone's attention in Fremont on a Sunday night! Oh we found out...a LIVE nativity scene. The best part it was a DRIVE-THRU LIVE NATIVITY SCENE! The shepherds or friends of Jesus gladly took our donations and we got to witness something Im sure others have not. Everyone was there. Mary, Joseph, LIVE sheep, shepherds, etc and of course the man of the hour..Baby Jesus! My passengers wanted to go through again but being from a small town I didn't want to become someone's gossip as the girl who repeatedly drove through the LIVE nativity scene. I think I showed everyone a good time and I'm sure they wont forget the time they went to Fremont and saw the DRIVE-THRU LIVE NATIVITY SCENE.
