No room at the Inn

Yesterday afternoon was Grace's first Christmas play. It was titled,"No room at the Inn" and it was so cute. First they brought in the sheep and donkeys (the 2 year old class, wearing little hats that resembled animals), second came in Mary and Joseph (2 kids from the 3 year old class), and then came the angels (Grace's class-4 year olds)....they all walked in a line with their hands together like they were praying and they honestly looked like little angels. The funny part was that because we curled Grace's hair Thursday night, her halo wouldn't stay on her head, so she had to keep picking it up when it fell on the floor. After the angels came in to the play, the 3 kings arrived (more 3 year olds) and then they brought in the stars (the babies)...it was such a cute little play. They sang 5 little short songs and Grace's class had speaking parts. When it was Grace's turn, she just stood there. Her teacher was like, "Grace, Grace...your turn,"....Grace looked at her stood there some more and then walked to the microphone and said her lines as clear as day! She did a great job! She was really excited because she had an extra visitor there to be in her cheering section. Thomas Ritchie (a Harding Student from Mom and Dad's bible study) came down on Thursday night so he could see Grace. He actually had some job searching to do in Dallas, but he came to see us for one night. Grace was very excited to see him. I don't think she let go of his arm until he left last night.
After the play, we decided to go to Dallas for a little shopping and good food. We loaded up and had some fun in Big "D"....
