Christmas Caroling

Some of the wonderful families we get to call friends came together and decided together that we should take our kiddos to the local retirement home to sing Christmas carols at dinner, pass out some homemade cards and just share the love of Jesus... pretty great idea right? Add a little face painting and a bunch of sweet children and you have a great evening glorifying our Savior's birth :-) It was awesome, the kids had fun and I hope the elders did too.

First - I must share my two cute little reindeer:

AJ was all about the face paint, especially when we called it makeup... KK was too. They are too sweet!

Now AJ wasn't really aware of the plans for the night. In his usual, go with the flow attitiude, he just got his face painted and followed sissy around. When it was time to sing, much to my surprise he was all about standing up by KK and ringing his little bell. When the singing started though, he had to turn around and watch with surprise! He thought he was pretty cool getting a front row seat to the show.

Here is a shot of our group - AJ didn't really sing much, it was dinner time and his boppy was not moving from his mouth. KK did a great job with Jingle Bell Rock and Happy Birthday Jesus.

Here is KK with Gracie at the after-party. The entire group went to our cousin's house for some pizza and fun together. A special thank you to great-grandma JJ for the pretty dresses the girls are wearing. They are adorable!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! We hope you are enjoying the crazy holiday season as much as we are... and I will end this post the way KK ended her prayers tonight "We love you Jesus, thank you for being born"! Amen!
