So, Last night we went out caroling for the first time as a family. We were recruited by Sister Rita to play the part of the nativity (Mary & Joseph). We had a great time. Afterward we went to Mr. Gattis for pizza, curtsey of Dr. Megan Walsh.
We had many photos taken, and will post them in the future.
It was quite moving at points. We went to a house where a family of congo/swahili refugees live. They are Catholic, but speak little to no english. The sisters (Sr. felicity, Sr. Rita and Sr. Marie) all sang in Swahili. Each house, Jennifer and I would kneel down in our costume at the front door, with baby Jesus and all the "choir" would gather around us. We had our daugher Aubry ring the doorbell and then immediately the OTHER Jennifer would begin playing the trumpet. It was beautiful!
Well, off to Mass now. Thanks for the read,
Happy Advent & Merry Christmas
