Christmas Eve Program

Every Christmas Eve, we do a program where everyone reads, sings, plays, acts out, or whatever-else-they-can-come-up-with something Christmas-y.  This year, was no exception.  Autumn started it out with reading "The Donkey's Christmas Song"... she only needed a little bit of help.  It was so cute!

Brooke, who is an excellent reader, read "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".  She used wonderful feeling and expression while she read... it was awesome!

Chloe loves to sing with her whole heart.  She sang all three verses of "Deck the Halls" with gusto!  It brought a light, fun mood to the evening.

Ciera did two musical numbers.  First, she did "Joy to the World" on the piano. She did a great job!  After that, she did "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" on her french horn.  She really did a wonderful job.  She has improved so much on her horn over this last year.

When she was finished, I read a story called "The Red Sweater" and Dave read "The Night Before Christmas" and Grandpa Tanner's story for this year.
 

It was a wonderful Christmas Eve! (We also continued the tradition of Clam Chowder... and added Oyster Stew this year too.  Autumn was the only one to eat any stew with Dave.  He said it turned out good, and wants me to make it every year.  We'll see...)
