Joyschool Christmas

Dec. 9, 2010

Today was the preschool kids Christmas program. We did it at my house and they all had so much fun.

Megan giving me the card she made for me.

the kids singing songs!

The kids acting out the nativity story. Megan was the angel! Katie filled in for her for a time since she was sad for some of it but the kids did a good job!

Acting out the story! After they were done they made rice Crispy wreaths for everyone there and talked. It was really fun!

The live Nativity!

Dec. 2, 2010

Tonight I took the kids to go and see the live nativity in my brother and sister in laws stake. I had heard how amazing it is but never been. Rob had to work late but it wasn't a super cold night so off we went. I went with Rochelle and her family so my kids thought that was really fun. Below are some of the pictures. This was such an amazing way to start off our Christmas holiday. It really brought the true meaning of Christmas into our home and helped the kids get a live interpretation of a miraculous event. I think it's a tradition we will definitely continue.

Ryan and Megan! They were all so patient since we had a really long wait to see everything!

Kelsie and Katie waiting in line!

Justin loved playing in the fire pits along the way a true pi-rho!

Justin feeding the camels. They had all kinds of fun animals. Sheep, donkeys, goats, camels, llamas, etc. the kids loved petting and seeing them all!

Mom and kids dad was at work so we went with our friends!

Paying our taxes!

Seeing baby Jesus and the city of Bethlehem. This was such a neat experience I really think it brought the story to life for the kids they always hear the story but this was a way for them to really live it. It was so neat. Worth the wait!

Oh so silly...rub a dub dub 2 kids in a....sink!

Katie was chosen this year as the visual Arts winner in her school for reflections in her age group. Here are some pics of her with the trophy she got and her project at the assembly they had with the entire school! She worked really hard on this and really deserved it. We were so proud of her. Good luck Katie at district!

Katie with her trophy!

Katie with her trophy and certificate, and her wax picture she did!

A cute picture of Ryan. I just threw this in because it was so cute of him! He is growing up so fast and starting to talk and just be so adorable! If I could freeze him in time now would be the time! I love this age and I would love it if he stayed this age forever (except for not being potty trained he is near perfect to me)! He does everything I say, rarely has tantrums, learning to talk, still loves to be cuddled and loved, just look at him what can I say he's adorable!
