The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 8

Today our special thing was the Christmas play at church. We have practiced so much for it and I am so glad it is over. It’s one of those things I always seem to want to do until I’m about half way through it. But, it really was nice considering how few children we had. After the program we had a small party and everyone definitely enjoyed that. I told the girls before we got to church that after this program I was doing nothing the rest of the day. And that is pretty much what we did. We wrapped a few presents, Bethany did make some fudge for her sister and she also got the lights on her tree. We played Christmas music and sat around and talked and were lazy. It was a great day for me and I think the girls had a nice day also. Then this evening my son, Matthew, sent us 6 pizzas and that was a nice end to our day.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 7

Today seemed long and tiring as our special thing was practice for our Christmas program at church. The kids had lots of fun goofing off and playing and talking, but I’m exhausted just trying to make sure all the angel costumes were long enough or not too long. Then I had to try to track down slips, and tights, or white t-shirts, etc. as the costumes are so thin you can see through them. But, I got everything done and got to church on time and we ran through the program two times. I think we just about have it down, but at this point it doesn’t even matter as the program is tomorrow. The kids had fun and tomorrow after performing they will have a small party.

My pictures are of Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus. Joseph and Mary are my two grandkids, Joshua and Madelyn and baby Jesus is my youngest grandbaby – Archie. He’s a pretty big baby to be Jesus, but I wanted him to be in it anyway. He is 5 months old.
