Making Christmas

We've taken pictures of all the cast members for the upcoming Christmas play at Free Chapel, and for some reason, Madison had to insert herself into about half of them. She was just into posing for pictures with everyone. These photos are for Mommy, so she can keep track of everyone's face along with their names, measurements and other information. So she has this booklet with about one hundred people in it, and about half of the photos have Madison sitting, posing and smiling! She was having a great time meeting people, one after the other. It was actually a fun night because she made it entertaining as we went through the long list of volunteers.

Here's just one graphic used for the production, that shows on the screen behind the performers. Daddy got one of the big parts for the play, a piece called "Imagine Christmas" that some other churches are also doing across the country. In order to "make things fit" better for our church, Daddy had to write some new material, and condense other aspects of it - and on top of that, the production will have some other new elements, according to the director.

But get this: today, Daddy got the part of an angel who wants to take a peek at all the goings-on during the first story of Christmas. It is essentially one of the two main rolls in the play - so we're officially now very involved. Today's Christmas practice was the fourth or fifth this month - but our calendar is about to get quite full!
