Last weekend Kevin sang in the kids Christmas program at our church. The 3 and 4 year olds sang "Away in the Manger" and "Go Tell It On the Mountain". They kids were adorable. We were stuck way in the back, so this video isn't too great, but you get the gist...
We were so proud of Kevin, he sang nicely and followed the teacher right up front (some of the kids are still really nervous - in fact, one kid puked - right in the middle of the program). Very memorable! After the Christmas program, we rewarded Kevin with dinner at McDonald's. (We have been on a McD's detox for a few months because Kevin is addicted to the toys!). After dinner we took the kids for a ride touring the Jolly Holiday Lights in downtown Des Moines. This has become a fun family tradition.

Trying to get them BOTH to stand still is always a challenge:
Our tree is up, lots of cookies are baked and I am done shopping! Whew... time to enjoy!

Upcoming events - Kevin's school Christmas party is this Monday. As part of a year end service project for the school, Kevin and I are dropping off the donations of breakfast casseroles and hard boiled eggs to the DSM Salvation Army headquarters next week. Remember a few weeks ago, the kids got the tour their mobile canteen truck? Well that was such a hit, his school decided to partner with Salvation Army and we continue to make donations each month.
Kevin & Nate have a role in the Christmas Eve church service. Kevin and a few other boys will play the role of shepherds and Nate will read their lines (very difficult for 4 year old boys to memorize a script!) I am playing the flute that night too.
Merry Christmas!
