Nativity Play

Our church has multiple Christmas Eve services to celebrate the birth of Jesus.  The first service of the day is the family service, where the preschoolers put on a nativity pageant.  This was Owen's first year to be eligible to participate.  His Sunday school class were sheep, but Owen was selected to be an ox that sat in the stable.

Friday (the 21st) we had a full-on dress rehearsal.  This was the only time we were allowed to take pictures as they want to keep the service as reverent as possible.

The other stable animals: the donkey, black sheep, ox, chicken, and other ox who was very sad.

 I was a volunteer so I had to sit on stage..so there will be very little pictures.  Thanks to my friend Caron for taking some for me.

Owen sat very nice and still near the manager

The program was so sweet and such a fun way to celebrate the birth of Christ.  It was a great way to start off our Christmas week. We hope that this will be a yearly tradition for our family.
