We were so excited and honored to allow Macallan to be Baby Jesus at our church's Christmas Eve service.
Here is our family of 5 prior to the service (we bribed Mitchell to smile nice or else Santa put him on the naughty list...seriously, he's never been so cooperative for a picture!!!)
Pastor Adam is holding Macallan on stage and there is a close up of Macallan on the screen in the background. Luckily Macallan was a good little boy...he just layed quietly in Adam's arms as he preached.

Adam then laid him in a manger.
They showed a shot of the top-down view of Macallan laying in the manger on the big screen. He didn't fuss...just looked contently at Adam and listened to him.
When Adam was done, he called me on stage to get the little guy.
Each year, we conclude the Christmas Eve service with a candle-lighting ceremony. The sanctuary starts pitch black and they start with one single flame and slowly we share the flame with our neighbors until every single person has a lit candle. We typically don't have front row seats like we did this year! Here are Jacob, Macallan, Dad and Sherri with 3,000 lit candles behind them. Isn't it beautiful?
What a special story to share with Macallan for years to come!
