Christmas Eve

The Christmas Pageant at church was a great way to remind us that elves and Santa are fun, but the true meaning of Christmas is celebrating Jesus's birthday. I got to be an angel this year, which was special because we learned all of the songs and did a sweet dance.
We even got to see a real donkey before the service. 
We talked about how there is a dark line in the sign of the cross on the back of all donkeys ever since Mary rode one into Bethlehem. 
Mom said the carpet cleaning committee probably squashed plans for the donkey to walk in with us during the actual pageant.
We had a full dress rehearsal before the service. 
So, there were some tired angels by the time the service started.
Ryan helped Mom in the restroom as she frantically supervised the potty break for all us little angels before the service. He triumphantly returned to his front row seat with Dad, where he announced to the whole congregation that: "MOMMY WENT POO POO IN THE POTTY".
