The book I'm currently reading emphasizes Christmas as the "expected in the unexpected" and that's a pretty good description of our pageant most years. This year, the pageant featured a shepherd-versus-cow wrestling match. Here they are before they started wrestling.
Due to H1N1 concerns and the lack of a baby of the appropriate age, we used a doll as the baby Jesus. Which was a good call, as the cow turned around and punched the baby Jesus halfway through the pageant. (In the cow's defence, his baby sister is one week old today and I don't think anyone is sleeping much.) LW announced that the baby Jesus was "a fake," but since he was whispering I think only the first row heard him.
NB and IM were the world's most morose magi. (They were trying to look solemn.)
EM was the narrator. Numerous people commented on how deep his voice is.

Oh my, that is hilarious!! I am currently at home waiting to hear from everyone else how Kasia did in her pageant this morning.
Loved the photos. Such expressions! Last night I was helping dress up some children for the Christmas program. Apparently the parents "volunteered" their children to participate, because when the potential cow and sheep saw the costumes, neither one was very excited about dressing up. One child started crying. The parent came to the rescue, but the child still wanted nothing to do with wearing a costume. One of the little shepherds that was getting in costume at the same time decided he didn't want to wear a costume either. Fortunately the rest of the children were fine about wearing costumes and the show went on:)
Very, very cute! We had the family nativity last night and missed you guys.
