Christmas Legends Caroling Hayride

The name is longer than the hayride! Last night, the youth group and the Henderson family presented the (what we think is...) the Twentieth anniversary hayride!
\
Some of the youth that presented the hayride twenty years ago still come. Their children now play a part in the production! Let's see, Rubin played the candymaker in the Legend of the Candy Cane. Jackson G. and Ira were shepherds looking for one lost sheep in the Legend of the Holly Berry Bush. Jessica was and angel (yeah right) and Elizabeth F. was the sad little girl in the Legend of the Christmas Rose. Hannah and Victor were lonely woodcutters who were visited by the mysterious child, Janelle in the Legend of the Christmas Tree.
Then in the Legend of the Friendly Beasts they all played a role. Kasey was Joseph, Alisha was Mary and there were lots of very antsy animals singing and playing their parts. Making their very first appearance this year are; Patrick as a cow, Daniel the donkey, Ira as a cow and Elizabeth as an angel.
The weather was just perfect and the stars were out. The hay was nice and dry. The hayride engineer drove nice and slow. The cocoa was steamy and rich. The cookies were sweet and crunchy. The songs were sweetly sung by innocent little voices. The little faces were shining with happiness. Memories were made.
