More Christmas!! We held our annual family Christmas party complete with more cookies to decorate and a visit from Santa. We love seeing all of our friends come together for this. This year there was a significant snow storm the night before and morning of the party, but, like all good Mainers, it didn't stop anyone from coming out and joining us. It did make parking a bit interesting and we got the snow removal done minutes before the party started, but we all had fun just the same:)
The day after our party was the annual Children's Christmas Pageant Sunday at our church. I am sure I have stressed this point before, but we love our church. Every year it seems that one of our children decide they want to do something quirky as part of the pageant and every year, no one bats an eye. This year James played Joseph (he now holds the distinction of the only kid to play both Mary and Joseph in different years) and Noah was a narrator. The pageant took on a bit different part of the birth story to include King Harrod, played by Ben. Ben has a history of claiming he wants to be part of the pageant, but backs out at the last minute. This year he practiced his part, both being very angry and his death scene, and did such a great job! Audrey refused to wear any costumes offered in the weeks leading up to the pageant. The day before she agreed to be a lamb. That morning she refused to be a lamb, but still wanted to be part of the pageant. The only thing I got her to agree to was the unicorn costume... this year the story of the birth of Jesus included a unicorn;)
