Back to the Manger

"It's time to get back to the tiny gift born in a stable...The heart of God, born in Bethlehem...
Back to what matters. Back to what is real. Back to a Savior. Back where wisemen kneel...























Back, back, get back. We're going back. Back to a starry night. Back to the manger. Back to a Gift of Life. We're going back!"


The Sunday before Christmas was the Kingdom Kid's Choir musical at church. Even without the music behind them, the words are so sweet! Alyssa and Emma love Kid's Choir so much! They sing the songs and act out scenes from the performances for months after they are over. This year the musical was called Back to the Manger, and it was a cute and funny spin on the Back to the Future movies. All of the children did such a great job!

Thank you very much, Tracie, for these next few photos. {Tracie takes the best pictures!}






For the preschool program, Kamele's class dressed up as sledders. On stage for the Christmas programs, she always looks like such a baby, but this year she seemed so big!


I can't believe that next year will be her last preschool program. While this year's costume was pretty simple, I remember putting together some really complicated outfits for these little five minute performances over the years :-) It doesn't even seem possible that our girls are so grown up we won't have to think about that anymore. Maybe I should consider some time travel of my own.

this was the first year the girls were in the kingdom kids choir and they'll definitely do it again!

and us too ... i could sing these songs in our sleep! ;)

and yes! i remember, actually, making some of the other costumes that the other kids were in ... the present, the Christmas tree. in fact, i had just come across the Christmas tree i made.

if you find a way to travel back in time ... let me know your secret! ;)

I always enjoy your collage of pictures you put together! Bekah sure does seem to be looking bigger in her recent pictures. Maybe it's the experience of going to school... she is as cute as always!
