Family Night at the Library

We're really getting into the programs they have available at the local library! It has been a lot of fun!

Tonight we went to the family night, which they do once a month at the library. It was a special Christmas "Hoopla" and we had a great time.

Two men and two women did a little play that was hilarious. The two girls were "Whos" from Whoville and were reading the story of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". Then they announced that the Grinch was in the building and asked him to come out from back stage. Unfortunately, there was no Grinch. There was only Marcello, who was a no eyed, no eared, blue monster with a stringy beard. It was very cute. One guy was the body and the other guy stood behind and was the puppeteer for the face and provided the voice of Marcello.

Marcello was asked if he would play the part of the Grinch, and he agreed. However, he is the exact opposite of the Grinch; he loves Christmas. So all the while he's being himself while the Whos kept correcting him on how he should be acting. There was even good humor for the adults as well as the kids.

After the play, we were led upstairs for fun crafts. There was a long table set up for decorating cookies with fun "easy spray" frosting and sprinkles. In another room there were tables set up for decorating paper ornaments. Lizzy got a little kit with stickers to decorate a 3-D snow globe ornament. However, there were too many kids decorating ornaments, and Ervin was pretty tired, so we went home to decorate the ornament and get Ervin to bed.
