For the second year, our church did a Children’s Christmas Play—a short, sweet little program that showcases each of the kids. This year, Andrew was a sheep. He spent most of the time either wandering around on the stage (without his sheep hat, because he would only wear it when he wanted to—because he’s 2, of course) or sitting with us, but he did have one line at the beginning. He was supposed to say “Once upon a time…” The funny part was, one of the big girls whispered to him what he was supposed to say, so he whispered it right back into the microphone.
Leah was an angel again this year, which she loved, because she got to wear “fairy” wings. She memorized her 4 lines quite easily and said them the loudest & clearest of all the kids! All the little kids wanted to sing a solo so they accommodated and let everyone sing a little something solo. Leah sang the chorus of “Go Tell it On the Mountain.” Unfortunately I don’t have a video camera, but it was very cute!
Apparently Leah’s shoes were hurting her feet. For the first five minutes of the play she sat on the ground and picked at her feet, completely oblivious that there was a whole audience of people. She even announced that she had a boo boo and nearly missed her cue. So here’s the Preacher’s Kids’ Comedy of Errors:
Then Santa came for a visit, and each of the kids got to sit in his lap. I got some great shots. Neither of my kids were shy (of course I don’t think shy is in my childrens’ vocabulary). I think they are just so in awe this year of the big man that brings them gifts. I hope they never lose that wonder!
Even Abigail smiled for Santa (although I wasn’t quick enough to capture that). She stared at him in awe, too, completely unafraid.
