Light Come Down, EMES Christmas Program 2014

Last Tuesday the girls participated in the annual Christmas program for their school. The theme was light: candles, stars, and the light of Jesus. Since Hannah is in 5th grade she got to have a speaking part (though she declined a singing solo) and got to learn the traditional sword dance that the 5th graders do each year. Below are photos and videos from the program.

This next song is my favorite. It's from the movie "Home Alone."

The 5th grade girls sang together for this traditional Swedish song.

The program ended with a celebration of Jesus' birth. The 2nd graders dressed for a nativity, and the kids sang and danced to "Light Come Down" to celebrate. The wise men dancing were my favorite, though they were all adorable and very fun to watch.
