The Reason for the Season!

The girls decided that they wanted to make up a Christmas dance and perform for us on Christmas.  They practiced their dance for about a week.  During their preparations Talmage came up with a plan to do a kids Christmas program.  He incorporated the girls dance, Christmas songs, and scriptures to tell the Christmas story.  I love the kids creativity and desire to work together and share something with our family!

 

Here is Talmage and the kids singing for the opening song.  Sandra is playing the piano for them  :)

Mhari's turn to read :)

 
Here was his program that he had written out to follow.  Talmage would introduce the different parts and everything. 

I am so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ.  He really is the reason for the season!  He is a wonderful gift to us and I love that we get to teach our children about him.  In this case I think our children were the ones teaching us.  Thank you kids!  You all made Christmas extra special this year!  We love you!
