Kids and Christmas Plays….

We had our Christmas Play this weekend at church.  It was so cute!  It was called “I Believe”  Nancy our music director wrote it from the Natalie Grant Song “I Believe”.    Well, it was all kids so you know kids will be kids.    Well, we start out and the ones running the music got the songs mixed up.  It was suppose to start out with “The most Wonderful Time of the Year” We were all suppose to come out as towns people and greet everyone there and give them candy and wish them Merry Christmas.  Well…. They went Strait to “I Believe” I sang the song, but  I wasn’t in my correct spot.  I was at the back of the church.  I heard the music start and Nancy and I were talking about how that wasn’t the right song then the next thing I know she’s pushed me out the door.  She said she looked up as she was calling my name to come back and I was doing my pagent walk and singing in the correct spot.  We pulled it off.  No one knew but us that it had been mixed up.   Smooth sailing until….

The preschoolers came in.  They were so cute in their animal costumes.  Emily was a lamb and Ethan was a horse.  All were homemade costumes.  I was rather proude of my creativity.    Well,  During Jingle Bells this little girl who wasn’t even in the play decides to come up and stand with her sister, which was fine.    Then “I’m gettin Nothin for Christmas”  that same little girl went up on stage and started running around.  Her mom runs on stage with her other baby on her hip  grabs her then she gets loose and they run back across stage.  Finally go off stage.  Everyone thought it was planned.  During “O come Let Us Adore Him”  Emily and her little Friend Naiomi decide to go to the manger neil down and kiss baby Jesus.   “Silent Night” they come back and start doing a ballet Dance.  Kids what can you say.  They have their own way of worshiping.  It may not have gone exactly the way we had planned, but everyone thought it was.  Because of the way they worked it.  The rest went off without a hitch.  .     Got to love Kids!
