christmas concert.

st. paul's had its annual christmas concert last week.

complete with the sweetest kids singing the sweetest songs.

ryan sang "rudolph the red-nosed reindeer".

he refused to get up and dance with the rest of the kids.

he also sang "away in a manger".

his version...

away in a manger no crib for a bed

the little poor jesus lay down his sweet head.

when i tried to correct him, he said,

mom, he was born in a barn.

he is little poor jesus!

ella sang "the 12 days of christmas".

she was 8 maids-a-milking.

and performed it flawlessly. her 3 besties.
