The Christmas Code

Earlier this week, Tim and Maddie were in a Christmas pageant at school called, "The Christmas Code." It was called "The Christmas Code" because part of the plot focused on how the wise men had to "crack the code" to figure out the signs of the savior's coming.

Anyway, I love that they got to do a Christmas play at school. They would never have had the opportunity to do this in the States of course. Also, it has really helped them in their understanding of the Christmas story. They know "the plot" and can name all of the characters, which is just great.

Here are a few photos for you to enjoy. Tim was one of the wise men, and Maddie was the angel Gabriel. They both did a terrific job memorizing their lines, and improved a lot in their speaking voices. Maddie (Gabriel) telling Mary... "Don't be afraid Mary. God loves you greatly."

My angel and wise man!

LOVE IT!
Great costumes too!

We always had parts in our church's live nativity each Christmas eve--and usually the barn was freezing cold but that added to the drama. These pictures brought back many memories for me.

We're doing the pageant at church and Micah is a wise man and Silas said he wanted to be the 'Darth Vader Angel'...I talked him into being an Obi wan kenobi shepherd...neither one has any lines (I like it better this way, less stress!) Very cute pics!
