Christmas Play

Everyday the girls have to write in a journal.  Some days I give them prompts, other days they get to choose their topics.  LE got inspiration from a C-mas book and wrote her own C-mas play.  She had speaking parts for Mary, Joseph, an angel, 2 shepherds and 3 wise men.  She told her Paw-Paw she wanted him to create her a manger and animals, specifically 2 camels, 3 sheep and a donkey. 
Knowing we didn't have enough people to do all of the parts, we decided to wait till we went home for C-mas and present the play at Mimi's.  Mimi made cookies and hot chocolate and we had a small play date with time to practice and then present our play.  She agreed to allow the younger cousins be the wise men and they didn't have to recite lines.  LE was Mary, Cameron was Joseph, Adom was a shepherd and Bella was an angel.  They each got to pick their costumes out of Mimi's fabric closet.  The wise men presented Jesus with C-mas presents and most posed long enough for a photo.
It was a memory I know I will cherish forever.  Paw-Paw and LE have already started planning next year's production.
