The Storyteller and Christmas Caroling!

Our church began to encourage church members this season to begin some new traditions as a family. In doing so, one of our church members went into different homes to read Christmas stories to the kids and families.  Of course we wanted her to come to us!  We love books and were so excited.  We invited the Blair family to join us.  Mrs. Kim arrived with 3 books in hand that told about JESUS our greatest gift.  Thank you to our church for doing this and to Mrs. Kim for taking up her time to do this.  

The girls loved it!

Then on Wednesday night, our church went caroling to the shut-ins in our church.  Lyla and Lily went with me.  We were able to ride the church bus and had a joyous time.  It warmed my heart to hear all of the kids in our group singing along.

Follow the Star

The Preschool church choir presented "Follow the Star" on Sunday night at church.  Lyla participated and did a wonderful job!  She has grown up so much in one year.  Last year she sat and did not sing one single word!  This year, she did much better and sang, sang, sang!  Thank you to Mrs. Pam and Mrs. Oakley for working with the kids each week!  Your hard work paid off.  It was wonderful and told about the true meaning of Christmas!

Grandmother and Mema drove all the way to see their big girl perform!  

She was excited to give them a big hug afterwards.

It's SO Daniel!

The children's musical was held at church this past Sunday.  Lyla was in it!  She participated in some of the songs and then acted as a "LION" for one of the songs.  Lyla is so funny...in the car or at home she will burst out in song and sing every word of songs we may or may not know.  BUT when it came time to perform...she was completely still and quiet!  Ashley called her the statue....she stood and sang not one word!  She told me before the program, "I am not singing...there are too many people out there!"  We are just proud that she got out there and played her part as the lion.  They were all cute no matter what they did!  

Lyla, 

Mama and Daddy are so proud of you!  We love you!
