Nativity

This afternoon, both Tim and Maddie were involved in a Nativity Play with their school at a local church. I have to say, I love the fact that they go to a Church of England School (which believe it or not, is a public school around here!). Not only do they get to say "Merry Christmas" at their school instead of "Happy Holidays," but they can even be a part of a Nativity! I LOVE IT!

The service today had lots of wonderful singing along with the play. Maddie played the part of a shepherd this time (she was an angel last year). Her teacher told me that Maddie was a little disappointed when she saw the first costume they had for her (it was brown). It must have felt like a demotion from her sparkly angel costume from last year. But fortunately, they found a prettier, blue shepherd-girl costume to appease her.

Anyway, here is her part:
