Sunday evening was the Christmas Pageant at church. As always, you can’t imagine that it is ever going to come together, and then that evening it is pure perfection – no matter what has actually gone on up on stage. This is just as the kids were finishing up practicing for the last time, before we went out to get them ready offstage. It’s Meg Wilkes, who directed the program, Lee the curly horned sheep – wearing the horns his Aunt Meg made for Mason to wear last year 🙂 – and Ryland the shepherd praying before the program began. So sweet. 
During the performance. That’s June in the Native American costume sort of to the left of the picture, and Mason is the king in gold to the right. “Come and worship, Worship Christ the newborn king.” I was so proud.
