The Christmas play starring Keana and Keylan!

The children at Obed's parents church did a little play this year. The theme was Christmas around the world. All the children wore hats representing different countries and they talked about Christmas traditions around the world, while decorating a tree with things that symbolized all the different cultures and how we celebrate the same story, the birth of Jesus. They also sang Christmas songs throughout the play. At one point a little boy from the crowd climbed up on the stage to sit with his older brother. As his mother was trying to keep him off the stage, Keylan loudly announced, "Listen to your mother! You can't be up here, you're not old enough." ... Keylan is 3. It was so funny! All the kids in the play. Keana and Keylan singing Christmas carols. Decorating the tree. "Keylan you have to be quiet." We can see you Keana. All the kids singing. Their Sunday School teacher narrating the story. (Hi Keylan! ... he keeps looking at the camera) Keana and Keylan Ruth and Keana - so cute! . Wito prays for everyone and thanks God for Christmas. Wita announces that there are bags of Christmas goodies for all the children. Keylan gets some help from grandma ... thanks grandma.

Merry Christmas!
