We've been listening to Margot sing her nativity songs for months now. I hear them in my sleep. Today, we finally got to see the whole production in her nursery's nativity play, "Whoopsa Daisy Angel."
Margot was a snowflake. Not sure how many snowflakes there were in Bethlehem, but I was pleased she wasn't selected to be the donkey. Anyway, being a snowflake involves wearing a white, sparkly outfit and twirling around in circles. The snowflakes were drilled in turning in one direction, then switching to turn in the other direction. Apparently, in previous years, the snowflakes all twirled in a single direction and got nauseous. She twirled with abandon.
They also had angels, manger animals, sheperds, the Three Kings and of course, Joseph, Mary and a baby doll Jesus. One of the highlights for me was when Mary fell out of her chair and Jesus tumbled across the floor. That barely beat out the wayward donkey who kept trying to storm the altar. Or, when one of the Three Kings stood up and announced, "I need to take a wee."
Fortunately, the nursery hired a videographer to capture the entire event on film so there were no parental altercations regarding cameras.
The kids were adorable. The teachers incredibly patient. And we were proud of our little snowflake.
By the way, Margot claims next year she's going to be Mary.
