Christmas Preparations: Part 2









To check so more Christmas things off the list, we had the annual pageant Sunday at church this week.  Ben was Joseph this year, Noah was a narrator, James a shepherd, and Audrey was some type of shepherd too although it was still unclear at pageant time what she actually wanted to be. Noah played Away in a Manger on his violin by himself at the beginning of the service.  He was nervous and hadn't practiced as much as he should have, but he did an amazing job!

This week we also got to attend a school time (read: inexpensive) performance of the Nutcracker by the Portland Ballet.  We were a big "homeschool" group and we had amazing seats in the front of the balcony to see everything.  After we enjoyed more time with friends for pizza, throwing caution to the wind, and ignoring the snowstorm that was happening outside.  We still need to eat before we drive home in a snow storm, right?!?!?!?!?
