Christmas Eve

Our little girls are now officially cherubs – in our church choir, that is. Lily and Margaret Anne began participating in cherub choir this year and were able to be a part of our annual church Christmas pageant. This involved some change in our Christmas Eve tradition of going to the candlelight service, but seeing our little angel participate in the story of our savior’s birth was well worth it. Four sweet little angels. There is nothing better than a big stage for these three little girls. If you know these two well, you know that Lily is a thumb sucker and Margaret Anne is an ear puller. How sweet is this picture. I believe Lily and Margaret decided the song needed hand gestures as well. Porter decided to hang out with his daddy during the show. During the show, Margaret Anne wanted to take the mike and really show them how to sing. If only I could have caught Carline’s reprimand before she caught me. Who needs halos when you can make really fancy belts? I’m sure the directors made a mental note to not let these two stand by each other next year.One tired little angel. Lily with her favorite big friend, Anna.

All in all, the pageant was wonderful. The children, big and little, performed beautifully. Lily almost made it through the whole service until she fell off the platform during a song. After that she had to finish the show sitting with Mommy and Daddy.

I can’t believe my little angel is old enough to participate in the church pageant. This was the perfect service for remembering the true reason for Christmas: celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

“Oh, come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.”
