The sheep that didn't make it to the manger

This year mom thought it would be fun for the kids to be in the Christmas pageant at church. They were all going to be sheep. They did pretty good in practice. Emily thought it was fun crawling down the aisle with a bell on. But on Christmas she didn't think it was so much fun in front of all those people! She didn't make it down the aisle but her cousins did. I'm told she made quite a production with her loud dramatic cry and had to miss most of church.

Nate's always trying to keep the kids in-line.

Poor Nate, doesn't look like it's going well!
