Christmas Kick-Off

Every year our town does a little kick-off to the Christmas season with a benefit dinner and a show on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. 

The girls didn’t dance this year because a lot of people were out of town for the holiday, but Noni and Papa got to be in the show!

They have been practicing hard for weeks with the church’s Christmas choir and this was their debut.  The group is called the Silent Monks and indeed, they came and went without saying a word…which made it all the more hilarious. No one knew what they were going to do.  They came out like this…(Papa and Noni on the upper right)

Then the Hallelujah chorus came on…

That was just a short clip…it was SOO funny!  Everyone loved it!!!

Our Pastor also got up on stage to tell the Christmas story so the girls got to go up and listen.

At the end we went outside to go on a “sleigh”ride pulled by two HUGE white horses. They had bells on so we jingled our way around the block. The girls loved it even though it was freezing!

What a fun way to kick-off the Christmas season!

  1. How fun!! You make small-town life look so alluring. But then you talk about how it takes 45 minutes to get to Target, and ... well, I'll stick with my city for now.

  2. I saw that skit on YouTube last year. Pretty cute. Looks like a fun time. We did a sleigh ride in Leavenworth this weekend but it was also just a wagon bc there was only a dusting of snow. In fact I think you guys look colder then we were;)
