Christmas Pageant

Last weekend, the girls participated in the annual Christmas pageant at our church.  We missed it last year because we were away on vacation so they were so glad to be back for it this year!  They took their parts very seriously and we are very proud of their hard work!





One of the best parts of the pageant was when Santa arrived to ask for a blessing from the baby Jesus.  Even though the children were told that he would be there, it was never part of the rehearsal and they were thrilled to watch. 

I love this photo - Elizabeth is watching Santa kneel before the baby Jesus and ask for a blessing and she is clearly moved by it.

I think one of my favorite parts of the Christmas celebration is the the Christmas pageant. I am sad that our church doesn't do this anymore (it has moved onto a more "grown-up" concert type of production). There is nothing sweeter (and sometimes, funnier) than watching the kids put their all into retelling the Christmas story. Nice job, girls!
