Advent Workshop: 2011

The children’s choirs sang a little song to kick-off Advent Workshop this year, so the first nine thousand pictures in this post are of that.  :)

They’re fuzzy because I cropped the miles of stage and wall out of them.  (Matt needs a little work on framing shots.)  :)

I left all the kiddos in because they are either cute or hilarious or both.  If you see a great one of your kiddo and you want me to email you the original pic, I’d be happy to do that.

Joanna’s moving her hands here but I don’t know why.

They turned on the lights.  Apparently they were burning her retinas.

But she clearly got over it.

I have THE MOST WONDERFUL MOTHER EVER because she came and got James and took him home!!  She got to watch Joanna sing, and I got to get James’ handprint craft done.

James would NOT have had fun at Advent Workshop.  But he DID have fun eating an entire hamburger and snuggling with Gran at her house.  Wahoo!!

I took very few pictures.  I guess even just handling two kiddos and crafts is enough work (and Matt was there!).

They loved the cookie decorating and eating.  I’m not sure what the face is about though.

Natalie and Logan just started jumping for no reason.  It was very cute!

At home, we had to have pictures of the reindeer antlers:

Those kids sure are cute!

We had a wonderful time at Advent Workshop this year.  It was so nice to be one-on-one with the girls and their crafts.  I “got” Joanna, and she was so fun!  She can actually do the crafts now!  (Of course, I had to take my OCD, put it in a box, and shove it under the table, but I did it!)
