Our Little Star

 One of our favorite Christmas traditions in the St. Philip's Christmas Pageant at the kids' preschool.  Nina was in it two years.  One year she was the innkeeper's wife and the second year she was a star.  Last year Susie was a bunny and this year she got to be one of the "Main Stars".  They narrate the nativity story and the kids sing songs.  Susie was really excited to be a star with her good friend Maya and wear a such a pretty dress for it.  It was so fun to overhear her singing and practicing in the weeks ahead in her sweet little voice.  She wasn't nervous at all to be in front of a huge crowd of people and did a great job singing and "shining" like the little star she is.

We are so blessed to have such wonderful, supportive family in town who come to all of the events and activities our children do.  Grandma, grandpa, Kevin, Jennalyn, Zeke and Eloise all came out to support Susie in her "starring" role.

In the run through of the pageant they didn't realize that Susie could barely see over the stable wall.  She is just such a tiny little girl and her head was barely popping over the top the whole time.
