Riley's Christmas program

On the last day of school for 2011, Riley had her Christmas program. Clay and I loved every minute of it. It was sweet and simple just like her school is. I love that! For the program each class was a different thing. Riley's class were the sheep. She was the most adorable sheep ever! And her face lit up when she saw Clay and I in the pew as she walked into the worship center.
She really did get excited to see us...I just wasn't able to capture that with my camera :)
 The sheep did such a good job and didn't give the shepards too much trouble. Riley even managed to sing a few words to some of the songs. She had been singing pieces of a few songs for several weeks ("Mary rode the donkey to Bethlehem"), so it was fun for me and Clay to hear all of the words of the songs.
The whole crew. They did a great job re-creating Jesus birth!
After the program, all the children celebrated with a birthday party for Jesus. Riley loves cake!
Then they sang a few more songs and played the jingle bells.

 I am so thankful that Riley can go to a school that celebrates Jesus and his birth!
