children's christmas pageant

this morning in church we had our annual children's christmas pageant. there is nothing like children retelling the christmas story in my opinion. it is always so cute and innocent watching them sing and act. last year, lela was an angel. she was so hoping to be mary, but that part is usually reserved for the older kids. so, this year again she was angel and a beautiful one at that. christmas is definitely fast approaching and the excitement of it all can be in seen the child's faces everywhere you turn. here are a few pictures from all those precious little faces.
