Jackson's Birthday

Jackson celebrated his sixth birthday on Friday, January 7th. Drew and Mommy took Krispy Kreme donuts to his class during lunch. Mrs. Conway made this birthday crown for him to wear all day. On Friday evening, Jackson had his birthday party at Pump It Up with his friends. He was so excited about his Star Wars cupcakes. All the kids had a blast on the inflatables. They were running around and sweating! Jackson was so blessed to have friends from school and church join us to party!

Christmas Programs

Jackson played the part of Joseph in the Christmas play at our church. He really just stood beside the manger. They performed at both Children's Worship Services on Sunday morning and then for the entire congregation on Sunday night. It was the sweetest chorus of little voices singing "Joy to the Lord" and "Go Tell it on the Mountain." They also recited Luke 2:11. "For unto you is born this day, a Savior who is Christ the Lord."

After the service, the children as well as others from our congregation sang Christmas carols in the Family Life Center.
Drew's preschool had their annual Christmas program. He did really well during the program with the songs and hand motions. They sang the "Christmas Hokey Pokey," "Jingle Bells," "If You're Happy and You Know It," and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas.""Someone" let big brother go late to school, so he could see the preschool show. Jackson was so excited to go back to his old school.

There truly is nothing sweeter than hearing the voices of little children singing, especially praises to God!

Christmas Parties

Jackson and Drew had so much fun at their school Christmas parties this year. Jackson's kindergarten class made Gingerbread Houses. The kids had so much fun designing their very own creation. He has made some sweet friends in his class that he likes to play with. This is Drew's first year at preschool, and he loves it and all his friends. He does not provide much information about his day, but I know he is having fun. He has the sweetest little class!
