Sally Jane enjoying the show from the foyerWard Christmas Party 2006
The night of our ward Christmas Party was when I hit the total sick wall so I have not taken the time to show and tell about our amazing program.
The kids in our primary had been practicing every week since October for this special night. This amazing girl (Jennifer M.) at church spent every week teaching the kids these wonderful old Christmas songs her mom had taught her growing up. She not only taught these kids the songs but taught them how to perform and be proud of themselves.
All of the costumes were handmade just for this performance. The woman in charge of the costumes is the same Sewing fairy that helped me bring sleeping beauty to life for Halloween. She did such an incredible job.
The Young Men built a lifesize wooden gingerbread house for the stage.
Annie Kate was a Suzy Snowflake.
It was a great night for the kids. I spent it out in the hall with a fever chasing Sally Jane while Jeff wrestled little Caroline. Once her part was over she had a hard time not being on stage.
enjoy the photos!

I can't believe this was a ward production! Apparently things are different in D.C. than here in Utah. Holy Cow! The costumes are gorgeous.
This is the most darling thing ever! You have a super talented ward!! I'm sure the children just loved performing and wearing those cute costumes!
I am stunned. That is an insane Christmas program - how fun for the kids to dress up & be involved in something so well put-together. Our ward Christmas "party" was meeting at the temple to see the lights together. Lovely.
What a cute production. Our bishopric has totally xed Santa out of anything.And being on the activity committee that makes it hard. Without going off too much.......it makes me sad that Santa can't come visit our ward or have anything to do with Christmas.
That picture of Sally Jane is darling.
I have never seen anything like this! That is amazing! Everyone looks like they are having so much fun. I can't imagine the work that went into it. The costumes alone are jaw-dropping!
oh my gosh......!!! Thats all I say. Im so stunned! Amazing!
Oh Kristi, I want that picture of Sally Jane, Caroline and of Annie Kate. Cute Cute! The fairy skirts really turned out cute. Everything is amazing. Caroline's Cristmas letter is so funny. Did you write it? of course YES! I'm glad that you pulled yourself out of bed to get to the production. Love it! Love it!

Honestly, I have lived all over the country and have never been in a ward that did anything other than the nativity activity. This is like a full blown road show. This is fantastic! All the kids look so wonderful and SO happy! How fun to be included in something of that scale! Really amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I really can't believe those costumes! Unbelievable. In our ward some kids dressed up and did the nativity. It was a huge deal, but totally pales in comparison!
