This afternoon, our family decided to put together a CD of some of our favorite Christmas Songs. There's even a surprise patriotic song from little Kelly Marie, age two. We asked her to sing "Away in a Manger" and she launched into the full version of "God Bless America."

With songbooks in hand we sat down around the table and recorded the songs for the CD. It's not very fancy - just songs from the heart. We had a lot of fun making the CD between takes, double takes, and outtakes.

Here's what we recorded on the CD:

Joy To The World (Emily, Wendy, Amy)
Away In A Manger (Kelly & Mommy)
Away In A Manger (Kelly)
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day (Amy)
