Bethlehem Village--Lauren's preschool program






Lauren participated in her first-of-many school Christmas programs on Sunday. We had to wake her up from a very deep nap to get there on time, and she was honestly half asleep through the first part of it...Andy and I were watching her up on stage, and we kept laughing that she looked like she was zoned out. It's painful to be be woken up from a deep sleep, and it usually takes me a LONG TIME to fully recover...Lauren's the same. Anyway, her school, Joy Christian Preschool, put on Bethlehem Village, where they created Bethlehem at the time of Christ's birth...they had all these booths with activities for the kids...ornament making, petting farm, coin-making/census taking, die-makers, and others. The kids were all divided up into one of the tribes of Israel...Lauren's class was the tribe of Reuben...hence the "Reuben" scarf on her head. They alternated between singing on stage and rotating around to the booths. It was really well done. The bummer of the day was the weather...it was truly freezing...it was hard to keep the kids warm...their hands were little ice blocks, and sadly people started to go home early (us included) because it was so cold. But despite the cold, we had a great time.
