The Christmas Story

Katelyn decided that we should do a family performance tonight of the Christmas story.  We had so much fun.  She was the director of course.

 

 Noah was the angel, Gabriel.  Do not fear he brings good news.

 

 The loveseat was Nazareth and the end table across the room was Bethlehem.  Michael got to play the donkey.  :)  Joseph was played by Elmo and Katelyn played Mary.

 

 Here is Mary with child.  There was no room in the inn (innkeeper played by Michael) so they had to stay in the stable.  The stool is the hay bale. (Katelyn thought of all the details.)

 

 Baby Jesus (played by Noah's stuffed monkey) was born.  Mary is so happy.

 

 Here's a picture of the holy family.

 

 I was a shepherd.  My swiffer was my staff.

 

The wisemen and woman (we're equal opportunity) came from afar (the other room).  Michael was also a wiseman (he's a very versatile actor).  Michael and I were a little concerned that the wisewoman didn't have any pants on.  I guess she got news of Jesus' birth and had to leave home quickly.

 

Katelyn wants us to do this every night now.  Grammy and Papa, there will be a live performance when you get here!
