Our Weekend

This weekend was our church's "Living Christmas Pageant." It is a drive-thru presentation depicting various scenes from the life of Christ, along with a few fun American Christmas type scenes. I have been ringing in the bell choir for the past five years. We have a great time out there ding-a-linging, but this year I was so cold!!! We do three half hour shifts each night for all three nights. Each night I came home chilled and exhausted. At least I have a whole year to forget about the discomfort before we ring again!

Jared and Jesse were in a scene Saturday and Sunday. It was a little chilly for the boys but they did a good job. Justin and John spent time in the warm nursery while BJ, Jared, and Jesse sang with the Christmas carolers. This year was the 25th year of the pageant....and I gotta say, Uncle Dallas, our minister of music, does a wonderful job directing .

Tonight was Jared's piano "sharing time" at our church. He did so good playing his piece, "Away in a Manger." I was really proud of him. We celebrated with a bowl of icecream in our warm, cozy home. Kind of ironic we'd be eating icecream on one of the coldest days of the year! Thankfully, our wood stove is keeping us toasty inside. BJ has had the fire going continuously since Saturday morning. We haven't had a whole lot of snow yet, but we're hoping for more! :)
