Nativity Play

On Dec 20 we hosted our first annual (hopefully!) "Cookies and Carols" Christmas party. Amy (one of the moms) organized a special nativity play for the kiddos... they're all pretty young, so there weren't many lines! It was ADORABLE and the kids all did a great job. Micaiah got to be a shepherd along with her friend Brie.
This is the rest of the cast, or most of it anyway. We had angels, Mary, Joseph, shepherds, wisemen, inn keeper, stable animals and an excellent performance by the donkey (not pictured-- it was one of the Dads!).
It was lots of fun and we're hoping to get the video soon!

Pictures

I've been contemplating what I wanted to write here for... well, it's been months now, I think! To be honest, both Tim and I have been using Facebook much more and Blogger much less. Not that it will necessarily stay that way, but for now that's how it's going. Anyway, I thought the easiest way to catch everyone back up would be with some current pictures. Enjoy!

This is our old house-- #23-- which we moved out of on Dec 8. Our landlord needs to use this house for 2 nuns beginning in January. We only moved across the driveway into our friends' house, so while it was hard to say goodbye to #23, it could have been worse!


Micaiah's been learning how to pitch, catch, and hit a baseball. She's got a good teacher even if he doesn't remember to keep her hair out of her face. :)


Playing the Viking Game at our monthly missionary fellowship... so much fun!
