A PIECE OF CHRISTMAS

This is the play "A Piece of Christmas" done at our friends church. The kids have been going to their church on Wed. nights since last year. The church family has really embraced us with welcome arms. So when it was time to prepare for the Christmas play there was no questions that my kids wanted to be part of it. Joseph and Mary, wrapped in a piece of Christmas.
The angels, being instructed by the lead angels to the right. Naomi is the third from left in the front row with our friend Veda standing beside her.

The angels singing and "cheesing" for the audience.

The Shepards looking for their sheep.


Georgia doing a reading.
The Sheep!

The Wise people, Levi on the left.


Using a piece of Christmas to help shield the wise one (I love Levi's smile).
The Angels sing, Silent Night. It was so beautiful!!!


The end, everyone coming out to take a bow. Look how shiny Levi is, he was in heaven!

PJ and Gregg, and Sarah were in charge of the play. Myself and another lady worked on the costumes, with some of the pieces coming from my Grandmothers stash of material. Notice the Wise People's head pieces (not the purple crown), made with love by me. The striped outfit that the Shepard wore was something that was "in the works"in my Grandmothers material. The only thing was, I didn't notice the first time I gave it to the boy, it was FULL of straight pins! I am so thankful that he didn't get stuck, but am very surprised. We got lots of compliments on the costumes (thanks Mom for your help and support) . The kids seemed really happy to be a Piece of Christmas.

I wanted to be able to post the video of the play, but it was too long. So I opted instead to post a video of the pre-show. It is beautiful with a lot of meaning.
