Christmas Eve brings the promise of an entertaining pageant at the church, and Wynham was promoted from an acolyte to the Angel Gabriel, if only for a day. He delivered, with flourish, a perspicuous explanation of Mary's coming gifts. Chloe hammed it up as a cell-phone-savvy Herod, and as astonishing as it may seem, Claire played a believable little angel.Jack took part in a massive sheep mutiny -- one of many little guys who decided that wearing a cute, fluffy sheep costume was definitely not his thing -- and then promptly fell asleep beneath the pew in front of us. No matter how many times this scene is played out in different ways over the years, it amounts to one thing: Tradition. I love it, and in their fondest memories, the kids will too.
Oh gosh - looking at the photo just gave me chills of someday in the future! Wow!
