Christmas Musical

The kids have been working on preparing their Christmas musical for two months, and this weekend it all came together so cute!  We are beyond grateful for all the volunteers who put in countless hours to make it happen!  This year Summer had her first "role" playing "Cub", one of the reporters searching out clues regarding Jesus' birth.  Colton was very excited to have a solo.  Larkyn couldn't have been happier about her role as an angel in the preschool pageant.  All three kids had enthusiasm and smiles as they proclaimed God's peace to the world throughout the musical.  Below are some pictures and videos, as well as pictures with their amazing support network who came to cheer them on!

Larkyn:

The preschoolers sang two songs, and then each preschooler was dressed as a character from the Christmas story and shared with the audience, in one line, their role at the scene of Jesus' birth.

Here is a video of Larkyn singing:

Here is a video of the preschoolers saying their parts.  Larkyn is the middle angel.

Colton

Colton did a great job doing the actions and singing as part of the choir..  He also really enjoyed having a solo.   My favorite part was watching him groove along to the music!

Here is a video of him as part of the choir.  He is on the top of the risers wearing a brown tunic.

Here is a video of his solo:

Summer

Summer tried out for a small role, but was ecstatic to be instead offered one of the larger main roles.  She did a fantastic job memorizing her lines, and delivered them with enthusiasm, facial expressions, and dramatic flair :).

Here is a clip of a few of her lines:
