Singing Sunday Night and Christmas Boxes

Emma and Ty both had the opportunity to perform in our Sunday Evening Service the night after his party, which was great b/c my parents were still in town and it was the first time any extended family has gotten to see them perform at church. Ty's class sang 3 songs and Emma's did 2. Ty was absolutely hilraious b/c for almost the whole first song Ty stood and kept messing with his belt and shirt. We could not figure out what was going on, however, near the end of the song, he came off the stairs and came up to Jeff and said, "can you tuck in my shirt" I have to admit, in our household Emma and I are the comfort dressers while the boys take over in the wanting to look good category. Ty was very concerned about his shirt, so Jeff fixed it and Ty went back to the stairs and finished the 2 songs doing a wonderful job!!! Emma's group sang one song and then sang and did motions with a black light for the second song. She had so much fun doing it and it really was impressive. At the end of the night was our opportunity to bring our shoeboxes for children around the world to the stage and pray over them. Ty did a good job this year in not wanting everything for himself that we put in the box, and Emma was so thoughtful with hers. She didn't want to put in a puzzle, b/c if they lost a piece of it they would be very sad. There were also a couple of other things she vetoed b/c of her caring spirit, but the sweetest thing she said was, " I wish Dollar Tree had bibles so we could put one in the box." I assured her we could get one even if it wasn't at Dollar Tree. However I did forget and remembered after they were all sealed up. I'm so grateful they put a little booklet in there in their own language.
