Christmas Cousin Play

 

Sometimes, so much fun is being had that I simply take no pictures. We had a wonderful Christmas at Gramps and Grams and enjoyed Rob and Lori’s visit immensely. Lori documented our time together so beautifully here in a post recapping their travels. Meanwhile, I managed to take two pictures. (At the moment, I’m even wondering if I took any pictures of our little family Christmas?)

Children’s Christmas Program

Sam and Dellen were in a precious children’s Christmas program at church, performing in both services on a Sunday morning a couple weeks before Christmas.

Dellen was the Inn Keeper, and was the only child fitted for a head piece microphone in order to hear his sweet soft voice say his lines. Lines such as:

“I have no standard rooms available. The stable, however, has room and is a moderately livable shelter.”

“I’ve heard that before. Don’t let him forget that. You may stay in the stable for 90% the cost of a regular double bed suite.”

“Even though it’s the stable, I still have obvious liability issues.”

Most adorable 1st grader saying those big words for his first program with memorization. So proud of him and absolutely love that boy!

DSC_0141 DSC_0130 Sam played the lead Wiseman, Melchior, and said the following:

“Hello my distinguished and wise colleagues.”

“I believe I have discovered the Star in the East!”

“Yes. But remember, our research shows this child will not be an Earthly King.”

“Greetings, Governor Herod.”

“In your province, a King is born who will be a Savior to Mankind.”

“We can explain further if you’d like.”

“Thank you for your accommodations.”

“The Star is over Bethlehem.”

“Counselor, …and Prince of Peace….and Myrrh.”

“You’ve got a big responsibility.”

“You’re right. I don’t trust Governor Herod.”

 

Love this sweet man-child also, and am very proud.
