Sorry, it has been awhile since I have written I will try to update everyone with everything that has been going on. When we arrived back from Singapore our life became VERY BUSY! Between two churches doing Christmas the week before Christmas we had 6 functions in 7 days! The highlight of functions for us was the Christmas play the Landsdale church did. The community of Landsdale is REALLY big on doing Christmas lights! So, we decided to do a living Nativity. We worked like crazy to prepare. I sewed 12 outfits it took me and another lady, one whole day to make the under pieces, and then myself another day to make the top pieces to the outfits. The Kids practiced and practiced and practiced. And we did a really cute Nativity. They acted out the Nativity to "Angels we have heard on high" by Third Day. They smiled and did such a good job. Our children were in it as well, and they also had a blast. We acted in the front yard, and cars would drive by and stop and watch the play (4 minutes +Christmas caroling after each time we did the play). We then gave everyone who was watching a candy cane with the church logo on it and the story of the candy cane on the other side. We figured we had over 100 people get to see the play. This was much better than trying to get people to come to the "church" to do carol singing. Although, Australia is not very Christian, singing Christmas carols at Christmas is huge! Next Year, we figure we will do more lights etc. But, for our first year of trying something new. It went really well. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
