Christmas Pageant

This year's version of the annual Robertson Nativity reenactment was quite interesting. We began the production by having the Roman Soldier (shown below) narrate. Scene one featured Mary and Joseph and McKay, riding the donkey. Benson kept removing the Baby Jesus from the manger and McKay broke the frankincense. A good time was had by all. :)

The lovely, and very convincing, Mary and Joseph.

Benson in the manger. As soon as he spotted it, removed the Baby Jesus and climbed right in.

Then, of course, McKay needed to try it out too.

And, I'm not really sure what was going on here... Nice dress, Dave!

This year, though the pageant had plenty of funny moments, was special because we were wearing costumes that my Grandma Brady made. She spent a lot of time before she passed away making a set of Nativity costumes. My Mom helped her with the project, so when she passed away, we inherited the costumes.

It was neat to know that she worked on them and that this Christmas story was important enough to her that she would spend time creating costumes for its reenactment once a year. She was a very special lady with a firm believe in her Savior and Heavenly Father. She lived a selfless life. We miss her.
