Our church had it's annual Joy Gift Pageant before Christmas and what a joyous event it was. We had so many kids participate this year which made it so special. Wenn was an angel, Meg was a sheep and Andy was a shepherd, and boy did those shepherds have their work cut out for them. The littlest ones get to be sheep and they ranged from ages 4 down to Meg who is not even two and there were about 8 of them. I gave Andy a snack bag of vanilla wafers to put in his pocket in case the sheep got a little rowdy. Well our wild child went through those before the program even started. Luckily Joseph (Parker) had puffs for baby Jesus (Miller) and he was kind enough to share with our always hungry Meg. Everyone did great and a good time was had by all. It was a wonderful way to be reminded of the real reason for the season!
Yes the man in the red suit stopped by our house on Christmas Eve. Wenn got everything on her list and then some. She loves her new American Girl doll that looks "just like her". I mean don't you think they could be twins? She has already put the gymnastics mat to good use by practicing every single day. Meg and Wenn have both enjoyed all of the musical instruments Santa brought Wenn and we have had jam sessions every night. Maybe we will line up some gigs in the near future. I gave both the girls glow in the dark Auburn shirts that they proudly wore all Christmas morning. Andy said it looked like Auburn threw up in our house. I think someone is still having issues with the fact that Cam the Man chose AU over MSU. We gave the girls bean bags for the playroom and they have been drug all over the house and used in all kinds of interesting ways. Overall it was a fabulous Christmas and so fun to see the excitement on their faces. Some of my mom's family made the trip to Mississippi to have lunch with us and it was so good to catch up with them. Meg adores my grandmother and insist on climbing up on her lap anytime she is around so they enjoyed some quality time coloring together. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas - we sure did!
