Tonight Bethany's Children's Choir put on the Christmas musical Meet Me at the Manger. They have been working on this since October and they were wonderful. I absolutely loved it. I was so proud of Marley. She had the opening narration Twas the Day Before Christmas. She did a great job. They all did. Everyone there seemed to love it. They got a standing ovation!
Marley had a lot of her people there. Mark, Janelle, and Mason came. Mason got so excited when he saw Marley up front waiting to saw her part. He waved both hands and said "Arla". Toby's father (Bebil) was there along with Big Baba, and of course me and Paul. It was a great night. It never ceases to amaze me how much Bethany does for and with the children in our church.
This is the choir. Marley is in the back row, far right.
In the afternoon we had dinner and Marley worked on her project for school Touring the Northeast
After dinner we had cake and ice cream for Toby's birthday. One funny thing...Marley lit the candles for Toby's cake and we turned off all the lights while she walked in and we sang "Happy Birthday." Mason started crying, really crying hard. At first I thought it was because we turned the lights off, but I think it was when he saw Marley holding the cake with the candles lit in the darkness.
Mason loved Toby's cake!
Poor Toby, it was a short celebration as Marley had to be at church early.
Anyhow...Happy Birthday Toby!
