Under Construction: Christmas with Lupe!

hmmmmm...what?!!! huh!? I'm so confused...Mars??? wait, what's the floor doing above me? Ohhhhh, what's going on? Oh, it's morning....it's (yawn) really early. Ohhhh myyy. 5:30....soooo not happening... After my mother unearthed me at that ungracious hour of morning, I sat on the edge of my bed, desperately trying to figuire out what was up and what was down. Obviously, the corners of my mouth couldn't figuire that out, because I kept switching from crying to laughing and back! Anyways, we arrived at the Baptist Church in Dalton (that so graciously lent us their huge fellowship hall, and got it in order for rehersal. The children arrived, we ran through our rehersal, and we left. After getting home, I had a very ridiculosly short amount of time to wash my hair and get ready, (an hour), and we left to go prepare. The Christmas play went well, praise the Lord! I was able to get some pictures...I may post more later.

These two were scheduled to be in the play, but they had a trip to take, so they weren't there.
