Christmas Eve Program

The talent show this year was eclectic as usual, and sometimes hilarious.  We thought Wes could never top last year's talent of shaving off his mustache.  He had been talking up this one for a month, and we couldn't imagine what he was going to do.  Alas, it was worth it. Definitely right up there with last year.  Karlee started things off with her talent of knitting.  She has learned to knit and is making a blanket for Baby Mac!  Impressive, this is a true talent.

Colton showed his talent of bowling, complete with his own miniature bowling alley.  Strike!

Clint showed us his talent of straight razor shaving.  It made me cringe a time or two, but he didn't nick himself or anything.  He's gotten good at this.

Next up, me.  I danced to "Shake It Off" in my glow stick suit.

Aunt Michelle taught us what she has been learning about milk, and shared some raw milk with us.

And finally, the piece de resistance!  Wes's Sam the Snowman impersonation, complete with the Burl Ives version of Holly Jolly Christmas!  We laughed so hard we were holding our stomachs.  I just hope that someone saw him from the front window.  So much fun!  I laughed so hard, the pictures turned out fuzzy.  But the image is seared in our memories forever!

Kori couldn't be with us this year, but she did send us a video of her talent from Ecuador!  The orphanage puts on a Christmas Eve talent show too!  She and the other 3 volunteers put together a hula dance, and it was so cute!  After talents and desserts, we settled down to our 2014 Christmas book, Once Upon A North Pole Christmas, the Christmas story from Luke 2, and our traditional audio of Twas The Night Before Christmas.  Lucky Clint got some Star Wars pajamas!
