Tonight was the Christmas party for the South Philadelphia Branch. It was a wild ride. Katie "volunteered" (according to Brother Ariizumi -- who asked Katie to do it) to write, direct, and costume a Nativity pageant for the evening. No one came to the single rehearsal, but since that's normal for the branch the script was designed for such a contingency, so the whole play was done on a wing. We'd like to say that the play went off without a hitch, but that would be a lie. However, it was awesome and we had a great time putting it together. Pictured above are two of the Primary children who played very important roles in the nativity. To the left you will see an angel, yes, that's a crooked halo that is about to poke someone in the eye, but that is quite appropriate for this particular child. And to the right--Katie's personal favorite--a sheep. We didn't take a picture of it, but the Branch had the best potluck food---EVER. (If you like eggrolls, of course.) Now that it's over, there is peace on earth (until 10am tomorrow, that is).

Your kids ARE adorable. And good job, Katie! I'm impressed that you did all that and are still smiling. I'll bet the kids will never forget it. How fun!
Oh, and your tree looks fantastic. I'm not sure where to post a comment about that, so here it is.
I need to get me one of those sheep costumes it is lookin a pretty nice
AWESOME costumes...great job! Looks like your kids had fun too.
Good job Katie! I "volunteered" (after the same manner as you) for that same job a couple of years ago. Kids do always remember their Christmas Pagent though, even if it doesn't always go exactly to plan.
Instead of an angel, Katie and a sheep it looked like three angels to me. How adorable!!!
You guys will be here soon soon soon!!!

It's nice to see a tree even when you are going to be gone for Christmas - not for the whole season.
I'm proud of you for volunteering. Everyone appreciates it and you have fun watching it come off...however.
