Christmas pageant

This evening was the pageant at church. Resli was an angel. (Let me rephrase, Resli dressed as an angel, but I can't vouch for the fact that she acted like one the whole time...)

Lela was going to be a lamb but recently decided that she didn't want to participate. So she had some time to kill during the final dress rehearsal - yet again, we are grateful for the ipad!

The service started with the Angel Choir, all of whom were already costumed for their subsequent roles in the pageant. Resli is on the top row in the middle.

They sang "O Jesu Sweet" and "The Little Drummer Boy." Here's a video of the latter, although it's hard to hear, I know.

Then the pageant started. Lela scooted out to the middle of the aisle so she could see.

Resli (and the angels) sang "Angels We Have Heard On High" and, for such a difficult song, actually did quite well.

What you can't hear is that in the silence that followed, Lela looked up at me and yelled, "Resli didn't mess up!" Good thing we go to church with a lot of nice, friendly and understanding people who happen to think our daughters are very cute.
Both the angel and the non-lamb are snug in their beds, so we better let Santa get to work.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
