Fun with our Civil War Attire

Before storing away our Civil War costumes we thought it would be fun to make use of them here on Providence Prairie. Lady, our horse kindly participated, allowing Ryan (a Cavalry Colonel) to mount his steed preparing for battle.

To arms! Draw swords men!

Straight from the Civil War!

Hmmm. . . this colonel has found himself a fair young maiden.

Walking (instead off riding) of into the sunset.

Being too dark to continue outside, we moved our "photography studio" into the house and continued to have a little fun inside.

They decided that it would be fun to re-enact their engagement in an 1800's style considering they were already dressed the part.

Having a little "surprising" fun!

Dreaming of her man who is off to war.

The dashing Colonel Cox.

Oh no, he's been wounded. :)
What a fun evening!

Providence Prairie's Christmas Music Recital

Sunday, December 6th was a day full of fun and definitely filled with joyous Christmas music. Our annual Providence Prairie Christmas Recital was a success and the parents and friends of our students filled McLeansboro Christian church with an attendance of over 100! We want to thank McLeansboro Christian church for the beautiful facility they provided us.
