Jack's Big Christmas Show!

This year Jack got to participate in his Joy School Christmas show. He was an Inn Keeper again.  He loves this role because he gets to yell "no room!" Their first performance was at the Retirement Home and their second one was for the dads and extended family.

Here he is with his best bud Nathan.
You may be wondering why the Inn Keeper was sitting between Mary and Joseph... I was wondering the same thing.
But eventually they all came and sat down to sing their songs: Jingle Bells, In a Little Stable and the Best Present is the One You Give Away.
 And then Grace decided that she should perform too.
 I would say that we have a bit of a ham...
After this, they got to hand out cards to the guests that they had made for them.  At the time, I wasn't paying too much attention, but a few weeks later we went back to for craft time. Jack saw Bill in the hall way peeking in the craft room.  Jack moved all of the chairs out of the way and made him a space at the table. One of the ladies said hi to Bill and commented that he never comes in for craft time. And Bill said he had to come in because Jack had cleared a space for him. :) A little later, Bill's daughter-in-law came by and Jack was talking to them.  He told her his name and she said that he still has Jack's Christmas card in his room! How sweet is that? Anyway, Jack ended up helping Bill with his craft and got him all of the supplies and showed him how to make his gingerbread man.

Here's Jack showing off his masterpieces with some of the ladies.
And here are some pictures from the other show.
So many helping hands!
 Again, the inn keeper invited himself in between Mary and Joseph...
