Addie and the Christmas Choir

Well, Addie came home from church a few weeks ago all excited about singing some songs. We asked her how the song went and all she could recite was "little donkey little donkey..."

We came to find out that the kids were practicing for the Kids Christmas Concert at Calvary. I (BMer) was hesitant about getting Addie out there, as she was part of the youngest group and she obviously didn't know the words, but Kassie talked me into to taking her to practice the day before and Addie did pretty well. So we got dressed up and headed off to Calvary on a Sunday night, Addie was great, standing in the front row next to her buddy Malachi Britton:

As you can probably tell, she didn't know the words to the second song so she did her best lip-sync impression. All in all it was a fun night, the kids all got cookies afterward so they were pumped!

Here's the words in case you can't make out what they're singing, and don't worry, you're not alone!

Little donkey, little donkey on the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards with your precious load
Been a long time, little donkey, through the winters night
Dont give up now, little donkey,
Bethlehem's in sight

Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem

Little donkey, little donkey, had a heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary safely on her way
Little donkey, little donkey, journey's end is near
There are wisemen waiting for a sign to bring them here

Do not falter little donkey, there's a star ahead
It will guide you, little donkey, to a cattle shed

Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem

Little donkey, little donkey, had a heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary, safely on her way
Little donkey, carry Mary, safely on her way
