Today was the day for the annual Children's Christmas Program at our church. The one group shot I got was a little blurry - could it be the photographer or the moving targets being captured?! At any rate, the program was great... the kids were adorable, and afterward I snagged a few pictures. Olivia was not in the mood for her photo to be taken, nor was Jude Herring. His sister Abigail, who was holding him, said, "We never get a good family photo!" Bless her heart... I think Jude had had it... he made a very brief cameo as "Jesus the child" late in the program, but that just was not what he wanted to do this morning, so I feel lucky he sat still long enough to get something in focus!
The angels with Olivia are her friends, Maygan and Payton Jarvis. You only see the side of Payton's head, but she was a cutie. I think this may have been her first Christmas program. 
This was Ladd's first year to be an angel, and he did a great job... and he posed so sweetly for my picture.
The little LaRosa baby who served as Baby Jesus this year was adorable. She looked around wide-eyed and never made a peep. There is quite a bit of speculation as to who will be NEXT year's Baby Jesus, as several women in our congregation are expecting in 2009. Regardless of who gets the coveted spot, I know the program will be as cute as ever!
