Hello Cuties! The children’s Christmas program was this morning. I just love to hear children singing. Nora, center Angel, Gus is red 🦸‍♀️-Avery shepherd with her sheep,far right I wish I could send the video so you could hear their little voices. I love to hear children singing.

Ashley conducted the program. From where I was seated I couldn’t get Avery too well. The children really had long parts to recite and did very well, too. ‘King David’ had to be replaced when the original boy got up this morning throwing up. Ashley got a child that had moved up in class and even though he had to read his lines, he read well. I was very proud of all the children and my daughter. She did really well working with these kids and kids did well studying their lines.
Merry Christmas to all!❤️Toogie

These are so delightful Toogie and I'm so glad to see Avery singing away too. I would have loved to gone to our kids' end of year activities, but they are only allowing one parent.

Ben's eldest boy Cooper graduated from Year 6 Primary school yesterday and had his formal night (12) and Aqualina (Dana's younger daughter) graduated from her Year 6 yesterday too. Aqualina looked gorgeous in Pink! Ophelie, who is the same age as Aqualina, is in year 5 and will go into Year 6 next year. Ophelie gets cross sometimes as Aqualina knows more than she does!! I told her not to worry she will catch up.
So happy for you and your family, enjoy this it's really special. Love Chris

The children all seem to be growing up so fast! Nora’s shoe size is larger than Avery’s! Ashley said Avery would be singing whether any of the others would or not-lol- we used to bring Avery home from therapy and have the radio on. She would ‘ sing’ (make a joyful noise) with the radio. We knew her favorites Kenny Chesney and Elvis!-lol
Sorry you couldn’t make it to the kids’ programs. Times are so different now.

A special day and memory for all. Often there is cause for a giggle like Improvised lines or forgetting them all together. My favorite is the frantic waving to family or friends in the audience that often happens. Just love watching children perform.

Yes, it was special. The only laugh I remember was when each group took their curtain bow at the finish. Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus was last. Joseph was supposed to hold baby Jesus up high above , but the way he was holding, if it would have been a real baby, it would have been killed right then!

I still have a picture that my wonderful Aunt Tess took of me as an angel during one of our church's Christmas pageants. So save these pictures! They are the sweetest. And, I like you, love to hear the voices of children singing!! Hugs, Laura

God surely enjoyed hearing this morning, these songs of praise, from these little voices! So sweet.
Glad you still have your picture after so many years.
