Our annual Christmas pagent this year was pushed out till mid-January due to inclement (ok, just plain nasty) weather. We left the older "nomad" kids in charge and the pagent they came up with was creative and quite sweet.
Instead of 3 wise men, we had 3 wise cracking cowboys. Instead of an Angel, we had Captain America. Mary, mother of God was a pirate and we had 3 princesses as well. The animals in the stable were not traditional animals either. They were played by our toddler group and included a baby dinosaur and a baby Tigger.
Of course, we still had a baby Jesus who was dressed up as a cuddly teddy bear. At the end of the pagent the kids annouced the moral which was that it doesn't matter how you approach christ but rather that you receive his message and share it. All in all, it was quite cute.
In this year's pagent Jacob was baby Jesus the bear and Jackson was baby farm animal Tigger. Both boys did very well, although Jackson got a bit of stage fright mid-way through and decided it was time to sit with Mommy. Jacob on the other hand settled right on in. As reported by Haley, pirate mother of God, "Jacob tooted several times and then fell asleep" right on stage. Perhaps he's destined for Hollywood greatness?
The rest of the day went smoothly - just hanging out with friends for dinner and then hopefully plans to get the boys to sleep before mid-night (ha ha ha).
