James is the perfect age to play a live baby Jesus this year, so Dorman (our church Music Director) asked us if we would be willing to walk-on as Mary, Jesus, and Joseph in the live nativity segment of the church's Christmas show. Of course we gratefully accepted the offer, but we've been nervous for the last two weeks because James often has a hard time calming down when we need him to. The "no crying he makes" line has gotten a lot of mileage.
Matt's been growing a bead for no-shave-November, so he kept it on a few days longer and the naturally bearded Joseph was a bonus.
James had a rough afternoon today and we couldn't calm him down at home. We were tired and worried; but in a way that only a mother could, Amanda had the timing of his feeding and napping worked out so well that by show-time James was fast asleep in our arms. He was sleeping and peaceful for two performances today and everyone fawned over how beautiful he was.
Claire had a happy and hyper time in the nursery. She would've been an adorable addition as a sheep or an angel, but I think she had much more fun playing with her friends.
