Reagan's Christmas Play

Reagan's preschool does a Christmas program where the children act out the nativity. Reagan was so excited to be the Star of Bethlehem. The teacher had them pick their parts and that is what she wanted. We made her costume, just the way she wanted....cardboard and lots and lots of glitter. Oriental trading had a cute star costume we could have ordered, or if I ever ventured on to Pinterest, I am sure we could have found some fabulous costume ideas, but this is what she wanted, and it turned out precious. The day of the big show Gracyn and I got there early to attend Reagan's special chapel, then we headed to her class for the nativity play and some special song performances. After that we sang Happy Birthday Jesus and ate amazing cake that another mom had made and Reagan gave me several gifts she had made in class. Daddy was stuck in meetings on this day, so we recorded the whole thing for him and Addison and we had a little movie time watching it with them that night.

Gracyn was all dressed up cute for the show.


She snuggled on the floor with Reagan during the chapel lesson.


They had a little worship time during chapel.


Here is the group all set up for their nativity play.


And, performing some songs.


My girls and I.


Here is the amazing 3 layer cake, with pictures from the nativity and "Happy Birthday Jesus". It was so yummy. The kids sang happy birthday, and they had a lit candle, but Miss Julie was quick to tell the 15 kids surrounding the cake....don't blow, just pretend!!!


Gracyn cannot resist playing with a babydoll, even if it is Jesus in the manger.


Here is my sweet, sassy little girl. She did a great job, we were so proud of her!
