The Best Christmas Pageant

Last night, the FBC Shreveport Children's Ministry presented The Best Christmas Pageant. It was quite entertaining! It had all the elements of a good children's play...missed lines, wardrobe malfunctions, and falling set props! H & G made their debut in the Angel Choir.

Here are pictures of the angels getting ready to go on stage:














Here they are on stage














Although blurry, Gracie is beginning to de-robe; I was already laughing uncontrollably as Haley had gotten stuck in her her angel wings and a kind helper had to come on stage and assist her out of them!



















Ahh, mission complete...robe free! Haley is behind the little boy's large wings! Although they knew the words to the songs, they quietly observed all of the others singing instead. Oh, and please note Piggy's big stage debut as well!














Celebrating with cookies!















A big thanks to Tiffani, Caroline and the rest of the team that made all of this possible!

Sam and Zeke will be old enough to participate next year...that should make it all the more exciting!!

Flashback Friday 12/25/05

I cannot believe these are our girls four years ago...they were so tiny!!

Thanksgiving 09

My homemade Thanksgiving centerpiece!

Jason prepared a glorious meal for our little Greer family Thanksgiving. Unfortunately our children did not want to partake in the food. I think they sat down for all of two minutes after their daddy blessed the meal. They each managed to shovel in two Sister Schubert rolls and off they went. The two of us remaining enjoyed (albeit quickly) the feast!

Jason had to work on Friday so the trio and I had another day together. After a somewhat enjoyable trip to the grocery store (it was nice and empty due to the Black Friday shopping bargains), we came home and made sugar cookies. They enjoyed all the Christmas cookie cutters and making the various shapes. After they baked, they each got to decorate and eat their cookie! Fun times!

what a crew

Ta-da!

Well, I never did find the USB cable for my camera, but luckily my mom's worked so I was finally able to download all the pics I took weekend before last. I bragged on facebook that I might have gotten the "perfect" shot of the trio for Christmas cards. Well, once uploaded and on viewed on a big screen, I'm not so sure about that! Oh well, they're still cute! Here are some funny out takes from the day.

We'll be celebrating Thanksgiving at our house...just our little family of five. I'm looking to some quality time with my FOUR babies! And QT it will be...I'm attempting to potty train G & S in a day (or two!). Sam is already doing quite well and highly motivated by praise and suckers (thanks Rendi!) but Gracie is a different story! Say a little prayer for them and for me as we try and move past this hurdle!
Happy happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

some fall photos

I was able to get my trio dressed and to my grandparents' house on Saturday morning to take some pictures to hopefully use for a Christmas card. I would love to share some of those photos now, but the batteries in my camera died and as per usual, I don't have any spare. However, I do have an extra camera, so I was able to capture a few pics of the crew playing in the leaves when we got back home. Their daddy literally spent all day, mowing, blowing and raking leaves from our lovely tree filled yard. I had no idea the leaves would create such an entertaining 20 minutes! Lucky for us, but not so lucky for daddy, the leaves are back so hopefully we can do it again this weekend!

important time

I love these daily devotions from the ladies at Proverbs 31. The one from last Thursday really hit home; it is talking about finding time each day to have quiet time with the Lord...something I definitely struggle with (consider I am just now reading my Thursday devotional!). Good stuff...check it out!
