This year I decided that I wanted my kids to be in a Christmas Pageant. Braden's preschool does a Christmas concert and the church does various Christmas activities, but no pageant... so I decided to write and direct my own. I am very thankful that I have friends who are as crazy as I am and agreed to participate. We transformed the dining room into our stage and we were off...of course Rozy's bed got utilized so she also enjoyed all the pageant preparations:
We started with some dress rehearsals/playdates...
Then came opening night...
The crowd: family friends and local celebrities (including Mary Cummings who took many of these pictures for us!):
They sang their hearts out:
