Elizabeth's Christmas Pageant

 

 

Elizabeth has wanted to be Mary in her preschool nativity since last year.  Only the older children get to be the people.  Her friend got the part and Elizabeth learned her lines for the angel that visits Mary.  But the morning of the show the other girl got sick and Elizabeth was thrilled to be the understudy.  She had a wonderful performance and was thrilled to have the lead.  After intermission the children removed their costumes and sang Christmas songs.  Many of her classmates were looking to her for the words and motions.

 This year the decorated trees at the Natural History Museum were gorgeous.  Elizabeth wanted to pose next to the butterfly themed tree.

On a recent visit to the Carnegie Science Center Elizabeth was picked to help in a Kitchen Works Theater production.

 In Music Class Andrew helped with the nativity song.

 Elizabeth was making requests for her favorite carols.

 We have had loads of snow and this year Michael is playing outside by himself.  With the family sick for so long it was a nice break for him to get out and play.
