ALSO first photo with Santa...Owen would never do this before, and wasn't going to do it here, but.....Jude did it, therefore......

The boys went with a group from Owen's school to see a play. Afterward, we all went to Bass Pro Shop to enjoy the freebies! Here is the Snow Brawl!

And the carousel...

Owen's class party! Thanks, Andrea, for thinking to have enough supplies for the random sibling that showed up! :)  Christmas bingo happening here...

And tonight, the Christmas concert. Below is Owen's class's part....I kid you not.  

"Luke 2:8-14

New International Version (NIV)

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”"

I'll let you know how it goes...;)
