CBS Christmas concert!

And why do I only have pictures of Katriel?
I was doing the video camera and Nan was doing a video for me on my phone.  I guess I should have considered getting still shots?!

None the less, I want to remember how many times I was blessed by my little ones (and not so little ones) singing at CBS.  We’ve been attending since 2002.  To God Be the Glory!!!

CBS PJT Showcase

As the videographer for CBS this year, I record the material for the group, often neglecting my own camera.

Today the JT part of PJT (Primary-Junior-Teen) class share a skit.  Tab and Marie had some small parts.  Then Johanna’s class of P’s shared a few songs.  She wasn’t supposed to be highlighted in the center, but the way the kids took to the stage she ended up dead center without anyone in front of her.  This would cause some Butler kids to die of embarrassment.  Thankfully, Johanna is made of different ilk, and she owned her hand motions and lyrics.  ♥

CBS Christmas offerings

Another year of CBS blessings, as the students gathered to sing praises to God for His indescribable gift of Jesus.

Johanna and Katriel majored in enthusiasm.  And my images pretty much stunk.

I guess I was too busy enjoying the singing.

First Day of CBS – 2018

At my peak, I was attending CBS with six children, and Nan.
These days it is four girls and Nan.

This is my happy place, for sure. 
We first started attending in 2002.  Nigel was two months old, and Stewart had just turned two.  We attended at Browncroft until May 2006 and switched to Canandaigua in September 2006.  We’ve attended every year except the 2008-2009 school year, when the homeschool program was not offered due to a lack of teachers. 

Marie’s group has the option, this year, of attending the lecture the adult women are attending.  She’s eager to hear the teaching go a little deeper.  Tab is in the girls-only middle-school group.  Johanna is in the Primary level and Katriel is still in the pre-schooler level.  That is based predominantly on age/population.  We are all beyond joyful for the return to this staple in our lives.

Twins day

An early morning email.
Some rapid fire texting.
And these two jewels got to be “twins” for “Twins Day” at CBS.

Phew…

Dress as a Bible person day at CBS

Can you guess who Marie is?

Johanna is being the woman who drew Moses us out of the water…

because I wouldn’t let her be Potiphar’s wife.

Katriel’s age group was necessarily included in the dress-up activity, but YOU try telling her that!!!

John 1:17-
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

(PS – Marie is being Jael…. funny girl!)

Crazy hat day at CBS

Last month there was “Wear Your Pajamas to CBS” day.  But Mom didn’t realize Johanna’s group was participating in that.  So she didn’t wear pajamas to CBS.  Mama felt so sad for her that she ran to Wal•Mart and bought her some penguin PJs.  Today we didn’t miss the chance for Hanny to participate.  And her crazy hat was precious.
