A Christmas Play (with cousins!)

Except for two days last week, one or more people in our family were sick at all times (a couple still are). But during the two days that everyone was feeling pretty good, we soaked up time with our TX cousins, who came to stay with grandma and grandpa a couple days after Christmas. All the cousins put on a Christmas play together. The play was written, directed, and produced (and acted in) by daughter G. She typed out scripts, highlighted speaking parts, and organized props. I was really proud of her! It was super cute.

Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus.


The angel Gabriel.


The Magi, bearing gifts.


King Herod and his soldiers (all trying to look mean).


The shepherds (with a little black sheep!).


I'm glad G got to do this while she felt good. She is one of the ones who is sick right now, though she avoided the stomach bug and has a bad head cold instead.

My husband with his siblings (his brother had to work and is represented by a picture!).



After that we played pictionary.


Here is the winning team, the Red Hots! (sadly, the team I was on, Blue Sky, came in last. But we gave it a valiant effort!!)

It was a fun, fun day. We're thankful for our cousins!
