Christmas Eve Fun!

It's a fun tradition to have a program on Christmas Eve with everyone participating!
Kathryn played piano duets with her Mom for our prelude music!
Daniel started us off with some jokes!
Hannah sang Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in Spanish!
Joshua showed us some stories he has written and illustrated!
Nathaniel has some tricks, including being able to breathe with his mouth closed and his nose pinched!
Amelia sang/performed The Twelve Days of Christmas!
David drew for us on this magic drawing board!
We played a Find the Angel game with Darryl!
Lily was going to show us her clapping, but she wasn't feeling well.
She still looks cute!
Jacob can keep a straight face when you try to make him smile!
Michael helped us sing Popcorn Popping on the Christmas Tree with a Stop and Go sign!
Amanda performed a Christmas Bim Bum Biddy!
(It was amazing!)
Brian and MaryAnn had the talent of juggling babies!
Four babies were part of their act!
Grandma's Twelve Days of Christmas puppet show!
(Notice the new puppet on the end!)
Grandpa's chimes!
Our guest and friend, Karma, said her talent was finding fun things!
These Holiday glasses were amazing.  They make Christmas lights look like stars, reindeer, and snowflakes!
Can you tell that we had a lot of fun?
