What a great opportunity for the children--a Christmas Pageant!
Holden was cast as a sheep and after practicing her "baaaaaa" for the last 7 days,
I think she is now completely fluent.
Their shiny, happy faces tell it all...
Play practice.

Holden listening to "her shepherd".
After wowing the congregation at Celebration Lutheran,
the children moved on to Christ Episcopal Church.
Another great performance but this one included a comical sheep herding scene (completely impromptu I assure you) and a dramatic, heart-stopping moment involving the Advent candles (don't worry, we didn't burn down the 100+ year old church).
Holden had a GREAT time acting in her first play. We think she's a natural. It won't be long before we'll see her in lights on the stage of the Concrete Theatre! :)
