The first weekend of break was spent on our church Christmas play. Saturday the kids spent at a 3 and a half hour rehearsal followed by a five hour day at church on Sunday. It was exhausting and crazy, but I was so proud of how well my kids did, especially considering I was directing the play and could not give them a minute of my time. I will post pictures when I get them from the photographer at church. Alora played an angel of the heavenly host, Steve was angel Gabriel, and Elijah sang three songs with the preschoolers. The memories I will take away from the play are
1. Alora singing We Wish You a Merry Christmas solo (one of the songs from the play) on a microphone in front of K-2 at her school
2. The kids "caroling" the songs from the play for HOURS throughout the day and in the car
3. Elijah throwing hay with another mischievous buddy while on stage while singing (It was naughty, but very cute)
4. When Alora started getting tired and missing me, the girls from the heavenly host took her under their wing and comforted her and she made some wonderful new friends
5. Hearing fifty small children singing away in a manger
6. The relationships I made with the kids in the play. I had a child on my lap, sitting next to me, or wanting to hold my hand the whole time during the performance. I will always remember the hugs and pictures that were given so freely to me!
7. Being called to serve in an area I would NEVER have chosen on my own/ or thought I was capable enough of being a part of and being blessed every step along the way.
