GT Christmas Play

The kids performed their Christmas play last weekend. They've been rehearsing for weeks after church, and we've all been listening to the songs over and over (Andrew and I could understudy any role :) Fortunately, the songs are all scripture so if I have to get a song stuck in my head, at least it's the Word of God!
Jason was an ice cream salesman as the play was set at the mall. He loved selling "ice cream" to the big kids. Beth was part of the halo express choir and a sheep...see her there under the white cloth? No, me either... They did a great job, all the kids in the show. There was a lot of talent to be seen that night. Best part...Jill slept on my lap the entire time so I could relax, sit back, and enjoy the show!
I've uploaded a bunch of video excerpts to YouTube so I'd have them. Check them out:

Real Princesses don't wear hats!

For Halloween Jill wore a princess outfit, a hand-me-down from cousin Talia. It's adorable and the best part is the tall pointed hat. One problem - Jill does not wear hats! We tried and tried and tried and tried. We finally gave up...
