Kell House Christmas

Anyone from Wichita Falls has heard of the Kell Family.
The Kell House is now a museum & recently celebrated it's 100th birthday.
For the last 27 years the Kell House has hosted "Santa House".
"Santa House" is a reenactment of the Kell Family Christmas.

Kayleigh has played the part of Young Cybil Kell the past few years.
This year, Emily got to join Kayleigh & played the part of Young Mary Jo.

As someone is telling the story their are different cues the characters listen for & then play out their parts. Young Cybil & Mary Jo are to wait for a bell to ring & then come down the staircase. Then they are to look in their stockings to see if Santa has left them a gift. When they see that he has not, then they are to act very disappointed & then stomp back up the stairs.

The girls really enjoyed being apart of the Kell Family Christmas!
Kayleigh hopes to graduate from playing Young Cybil , to play
MiMi the Tuggle Toy Shop Doll.

Always looking forward with new goals for the future.
After all, that is what the Kell Family lived for!
