Christmas Caroling!

On Tuesday afternoon, we got together with some friends to help spread some more Christmas cheer!! We all met at Erin's house for a happy birthday Jesus celebration complete with the reading of Luke 2 and birthday cupcakes for everyone as we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus!

I couldn't fit EVERYONE into one picture....
We had to do cupcakes in SEVERAL groups....



Then we split into groups to go Christmas caroling! We had made arrangements to go see all of the homebound members of our church - people who are too sick or frail to leave their homes to come to church, or people who are in a medical facility, etc. It was such a WONDERFUL way to show our children another way they can spread the Good News about Jesus' birth!! We had a great time!
I got to have this extra little ray of sunshine ride with me for a bit! This is Ella Mae - she's a tad older than Callie but they are just two little peas in a pod I think! Like the headband? :)
Here's our little group of carolers - some very intently following the words! :)

I was wondering if people still go garoling -- this answers my question! :)
