Get to the Manger

The kids had their children's choir performance Wednesday evening at church. They each did a fantastic job. The play was called "Get to the Manger"; a story about a group of kids going to the mall, handing out candy canes and praying with mall employees. Walker was Pastor Neil and Garrett was a mall employee. Laine sang her heart out in the choir. It was great and everyone did a fabulous job spreading the Love of Jesus.

Merry Christmas Hat Day

Today is the last day of school for the kids. To raise funds, the APT collected $2.00 from the kids and for their contribution, they may wear any hat for the day (hats are normally against the rules). Laine chose to wear a Santa Hat. Garrett also elected the Santa hat but left for Safety Patrol before I could get the picture :(

Merry Christmas!!

Gingerbread House

My neighbor Trish had a great, festive idea for a "Ladies Night"; making gingerbread houses. Believe it or not this was my first gingerbread house. It was very fun but as you can see the kids thought it was very tasty too. Trish spoiled us with delicious food and great conversation. I look forward to future "Ladies Nights". Thanks Trish.

Monkey in a Tree

Coy took the boys to a local restaurant to watch the Bronco game while Laine, Kylie and I stayed home. There was a balloon artist at the restaurant so Daddy had a special hat made for Laine, a monkey in a palm tree. The only way the guy would make it for Daddy is if he would wear it? Wish I had a picture of that ;)

Seussical the Musical

The Warren Acting Company's latest performance was Seussical the Musical. Walker played Horton the Elephant and the story line followed loosely the Horton Hears a Who movie with added Dr. Seuss characters like, Cat in the Hat. Walker did a wonderful job playing a very sad elephant. So much so that Laine cried during intermission of his first performance because she was so sad for Horton.

Their next performance will be Grease in March and Laine is going to try it too. Should be fun. More pictures from Seussical can be found at www.warrenactingcompany.org

Student of the Month

Garrett received his award last Friday for the month of November but didn't say anything about it until Monday morning when he was packing his backpack for school "oh by the way, I am student of the month" You think when we asked on Friday how his day was or was there anything new he would have remembered to tell his family about his award. We are very proud of him :)

Light Up Mt Dora

Walker's theater company, The Warren Acting Company, participated in the annual Light Up Mt. Dora celebration. For those of you who have never had the pleasure of visiting this quaint little city, they are known for their art galleries, music, theater, festivals and of course...senior citizens!

The kids had a great time kicking off the Christmas Season and, as you will see, Dominic the Italian Donkey was the hit of the night.
