Christmas Play

The older boys were all in the Christmas Pageant at church this year.  We had 2 "additional" shepherds, one head shepherd and Balthazar. The biggest hassle was getting all the parts of the costumes to the church that night since swimming lessons ran late so we sent right from one to the other with a quick stop in the driveway to grab things.

The pageant went rather well from what I could see. Gabe was about done with sitting still and being quiet by the time everything started so I did not get to see too much from where we were hiding but I did get to see Kieran jump up and down excitedly when the shepherds were all supposed to be showing their joy and excitement at the birth of Jesus. I must say he played that part well and the other shepherds were very much slacking off.  Yes, they all wore sneakers and the show still went on.  Amazing, huh?
