Ellie's Party Play

For her birthday, Ellie requested a play of Jesus' birth.  I suppose this came on the heels of the recent Christmas season, but the idea was all her own.  So I set off to plan how many kids were necessary for a basic nativity skit... apparently the number is 16.  What were we thinking?

Ellie of course played Mary, (isn't she the cutest little Mary you've ever seen?:), and K was an angel.








































Let the play begin... Mary & co-actor Joseph













"Mary was so afraid!" ... (and a hiding wiseman)














No room in the inn


















Shepherds, sheep & angels












King Herod

















All come to worship Jesus
;












All and all the play was a quality production and Mary gave a stirring performance.  Though Ellie decided that perhaps next year, we'll go a little smaller.  Her playwright agrees.

T.K.,

Quite a production. Many mom's would have balked at such an undertaking. And yes, Mart was never cuter. Jesus looked good himself. Seeing so many kids Ellie and K's age was very encouraging. Miss and love you all.

Love to all,
