Final Advent Gifts and Church Christmas Program

We started our marathon Christmas day with our final stocking gifts.
Parker got a glowing t-rex, Esme got a Barbie and math activity book, and Jimmy got M&Ms popcorn and a new bottle of Poo-Pourri.
The kids have been practicing a couple songs to sing at church since the beginning of November and today was the big day.  We normally go to the 10:30 service, but came early so they could sing at the 9:00 service.  We grabbed a spot to set up my tripod and Parker gave me this adorable smile.
They gave me a great pose by the Christmas trees as well before checking in with the Kidventure team.
We sang one song, then the kids came in to perform.
They learned some actions and sign language for it and Esme did such a great job.
I was impressed with how much parker participated as well.  His buddy Emma has been such a great help this year.
Here is the video of their performance.  If you listen closely at the beginning, Parker says the name of the song (His Name is Wonderful) when the music starts.
After the first service, we got a picture with Ruby since her and Esme were twinning in their red sequin dresses.  It was our children's director's last week on staff, so there was cake to celebrate in between services.  Shawna has been such a huge advocate for all of the kids, but especially those with special needs like Parker.  We are all sad to see her go, but their family will be moving soon.

Jimmy and Parker went home to finish prepping for him immediate family Christmas while I stayed with Esme so she could sing again at the second service.
