Only 5 more days until Christmas! I have to admit, I've been running low on Christmas spirit this year, but I am determined to keep things as light as possible for my kids (or at least Makena and Trey).
We made the trip to Sherwood to see the Christmas lights along with what seemed like half of the state of Arkansas. I guess everyone felt pretty safe driving thru lights. We waited in line for around an hour and a half before getting to the entrance. Trey and Carl cranked the music up and we had everyone around us laughing. Me and Makena may have been crouching down in our seats but their antics made the time pass a little faster. This is the first year that Carlie hasn't been with us. I invited her (and Caleb) but they were doing some home renovations.
The piano man
He played Feliz Navidad and It Came Upon the Midnight Clear. I love hearing him play the piano but these days his preference is the guitar.
Aunt Becky and her students.
We had the Christmas recital on Saturday evening. It was at the Community Center this year so we could spread out a little more. I think there were two more students that started in the fall but stopped lessons because their parents were afraid of Covid.
My whole crew. Makena, Carlie and Caleb came to watch Trey play and eat some yummy BBQ from Craig's.
Me and my baby.
He played a shepherd in our church Christmas program, "Shepherds, Sheep, and A Saviour ".
Trey and Bailey
Papa and Grammy made it out for the program.
They also came to Trey's piano recital. They don't get out much on Sunday mornings because Grammy has a hard time getting up.
Some of the crew. Sweet baby Ryker was in his first program tonight. Unless they happen to move away from our area, I see many more in his future!
Peyton wanted Mr. Carl to help her with her angel wings. He is a pro at all things little girls!
Joseph and Mary
Peyton was our only angel this year.
We feel blessed to have been able to have a Christmas program at all considering some churches aren't even meeting. I guess that's a perk to being a member of a small church.
Bailey was on point tonight!
He keeps us laughing for sure.
Bailey is autistic and believed to be "vaccine injured". They will never have hard proof of this because that would mean someone may have to take responsibility, BUT his parents and grandparents will tell you he was perfectly normal until THAT vaccine.
And that's a wrap! We had a great weekend, filled will lots of Christmas activities.
Much Love,
Beth
