This time of year is full of fun Christmas programs that the kids get to be involved in.
All three of the kids sang or had a part in our program at church last Sunday.
Kiptyn singing Little Drummer Boy!
The kids did a great job of singing for us!
The boys had a few practices during Sunday school hour or after the church service for a couple of weeks and little Miss Chloe was not going to miss out!
One Sunday when the kids had practice, Chloe went up, sat down and listened to the instructions and got up and sang all the songs....with the actions!! It was so cute!
We were excited to see her sing with her brothers the following week in front of an audience....
But, I had to bribe her with candy and gum just to get her to go up front on the Sunday of the program! So, she didn't sing but she did stand up there the whole time...and she was so proud of the new pearl bracelet that Grandma Bear had given her to wear that morning!!
After the little kids sang, the older kids did a skit about what Christmas is all about.
Is it about food, family and presents? Well, those things are nice around the holidays, but the true meaning of Christmas is the birth of Jesus!
Kieran had a part on the "gift" team!
I guess he got bored after he opened the gift?!
Fast forward from Sunday to Thursday....
Kiptyn had a preschool program!
He did a great job of singing....
but didn't want to do any actions!
Playing his instrument that he made!
In years past, the preschool did their Christmas programs on Sunday afternoon. But this year they did them during the class time. Chuck and I were able to go and do a craft with Kiptyn, watch the kids sing and then enjoy cupcakes and ice cream to celebrate Jesus' birthday!
It was a very special time with our Little Squirt!!
It is a joy to watch the kids sing and be reminded of the reason for the season!
Merry Christmas to You!!
