CHRISTmas Play 2009

Sunday, the 13th, was the annual Christmas play at our church. The kids are ALWAYS involved in whatever the church is doing and this was no exception! Cora Jane and Vera Kate LOVE all the singing and they even got their own solos this year! We (the church) try and make sure that all the kids get a little speaking or singing part of their own...it makes the event even more special for them.

God has truly blessed our little church with LOTS of kids! A couple of years ago, we did a play very similar to the one this year. Well since then we have more than doubled the children in our program! God is so good!

The play is set in a manger scene with Mary, Joseph, the angels, shepherds, and wise men being played by our 4-7 yr. olds. The barn animals that you see running around are our 18 month old toddlers! They were too cute! At one point you can see that the moms made a mad dash across the screen.....they were trying to catch the "Loose Livestock"!!!! It was hysterical! Poor Cora Jane was trying to sing her solo when Whit (the cow) and his other barnyard buddies tried to take out the Christmas Tree. But Cora Jane never once flinched! She sang her little heart out! Vera Kate was so proud of herself for learning her part! She did a great job and she even had her own solo...even if she didn't know ALL the words that well!

We are so blessed to have a GREAT church family! After the play, Santa joined Jesus' Birthday Party and shared his toys with all the boys and girls. I was especially thankful to have my parents, brother, and future SIL there to share the occasion. My wonderful MIL made it but only for a few minutes....my FIL was feeling really ill and needed to rest so she went on home to be with him. Praise the Lord he is feeling better and almost back to himself...just in time for Christmas.

Merry CHRISTmas,
