This event is so fun. We have been asked to make taffy the last several years.
It is a big commitment to be at the church for 9-10 hours and really not experience much of the magic with our kids. It is all worth it, we chatted with many interesting people this year. I love how this even serves our community.
Robert has done a mini-event of bucket drumming the past two years. He amazes me at his zero stress, throw a few people at a project and make it work, and have it be fun. He arranged everything for this 2 days before go time!
Noelle was an angel this year for the pagent/musical. The volunteer that heads t
his up chooses from two or three programs she rotates. This year Noelle wanted a small speaking part. She ended up being Gabriel and recited Luke 2: 10-12
“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Dallas was a reluctant King. He did not want to be there, but as the good parents we are we leveraged basketball for participation. He was a very handsome wise man and eventually had fun hanging with the other two kings.
The kids performed at the Perfect Gift. Emily has aged out. They invite preschoolers through 5th grade. We were all a bit sad about that. It is another one of those pivotal year things, she is not a kid, but not a teenager. She is also at the age where she can help and volunteer which she said is fun in a different way.
This is Noelle in the "tea room" at the Perfect Gift. The kids get to put on dress up clothes and sit and eat cookies and tea/punch.
Robert pulling taffy. I am glad he obliges me.
They performed again on Sunday, a couple of songs from the musical and rang bells as well. It is fun to see everyone in their Christmas best.
