Jamie & Noelle wanted to be ladybugs together this year, and Sam & Jillian are Darth Vader & Princess Leia.

Leia and the ladybugs!  These poses are just too funny!

Noelle’s first face painting – I couldn’t believe she did it.  Up until this point, she has been deathly afraid of face painting!

Are you really Jillian?  Okay, that’s you!

Lindsay, her husband Mike (her right), and her brother Andy performed while everyone ate at the hotdog supper.  It was so festive, and they are amazing singers!

Tired Mommy Mo (haha) and Noelle bug after going down the big slide behind us!

Dancing to the great music while the parents finish eating.

 

The ladybug and the Pond.  The photographer for the evening dressed up as a Pond.  Isn’t she so cool looking!?!  Noelle was a little scared!

 

Fun fun Bible Lane Passport time – Upstairs they had several scenes with Bible stories and activities for the little kids.  In every room, they listened to a story, had an activity, got 3 pieces of candy and one big treat.  Each child had a Bible Passport with all the stories in the passport.  They got a stamp in the book after completing each room/story.  Noelle got to go fish downstairs and then started the Bible adventure.  This is the room of Jesus’ birth.  After the story, they got to feel the hay in the manger and go to a big pile of hay in the corner, and pull out a prize. 

This was Daniel in the Lion’s Den story – the activity was throwing a bean bag in the basket to make the lion’s mouth close.

The room on the left was The Parting of the Red Sea.  After the story, the teachers threw fish through the streamers and the kids turned them in for their treats and prizes.

This room was the story of the Good Samaritan.  The activity was putting band-aids on the hurt man to do our part to help him.  Noelle walked up to his head with this concerned look on her face and said, "Feel better, okay?"  The pink band-aid on his head is Noelle’s.

The kids got to see him all well before they left.  I couldn’t believe how much the kids were getting into the stories and activities – it was amazing!

This is the story of how baby Moses is saved.  Noelle was infatuated with what a "reed" was.  Now she knows!  She’s been talking about reeds all week; this grassy scene really made an impression on her!

The last story was Jonah and the Big Fish.  They had little bean bags in the shape of a person (Jonah) and after the story, the kids got to throw the bean bags (Jonah) in the whale.  

Noelle saying, "I want to be Jonah!"

 

After the stories, the kids got to do one more bounce house, and they loved it!

  

Noelle screaming and having the time of her little life!
