Every Christmas Eve, there is a special dinner which has been the same for generations, followed by the Nativity, which is so wonderfully acted out by as many kids (and sometimes grown ups) that are in attendance. This year, the numbers were few, but I think we still did okay. We didn't have a Mary though. The only "little" girl is Mady and she isn't even one yet. She did make a cute little angel - along with the "King Angel" aka Tyler.
The boys, just chilling out in their costumes and listening to the Christmas story...
After the Nativity, which includes reading and singing (much to Carter's delight - he loves to sing), there is a part on the program where the kids are able to share talents with everyone. This is Carter's first year in piano, so he was so excited to be able to play a Christmas song for everyone. He did very well and wasn't even shy - well, that's not true. His original plan was to play and sing the song, but he was too shy to sing by himself, so he just played. It was really cute and of course, we could all hear grama cheering the loudest in the background (thanks grama)!!It was a great night, even if it is a whirwind trip (we arrived in Magrath at 5:30 pm and left at 9pm).
