Christmas 'Eve Play

Our church put on a Christmas 'Eve play with the pastor reading the narrative of Luke and Matthew accounts of Jesus' birth while the kids acted out the story. Hilarious! We had two rehearsals and the kids did great. Thaddeus was the donkey (yes, same costume as Harvest Day, but it worked!)--the first rehearsal he wouldn't have anything to do with Mary. The second, he followed Mary and Joseph down the "street" and then circled Joseph on all fours up on stage. During the actual play, he went down the "street" just fine, got on stage, turned around and faced the crowd and saw his babysitter, Becky, who had just come home on break from college, and went down to her. She took him back on stage where he stayed for a short time, til he remembered Becky again, then went back to her. This happened several times. Ryan and I had so much fun watching!


Yes, that is me in the background. A couple of moms were wrangled, err, asked to help with crowd control during the shepherd/towns people scenes:). And, at the beginning, Hannah was entranced by the violinists who played several beautiful pieces for us. Then Nathanael was "going over" the sound equipment with his Sunday School teacher:).
