Simon made his theatrical debut today in the christmas pageant as... the Rooster! He was very happy to portray an animal (even if it wasn't a very fierce one) and it was remarkable to watch the whole production come together~ many very young actors, a bell choir, a young violinist, etc. The whole thing was very heartwarming.

Josie made it through three rehearsals as a member of the angel chorus but just didn't quite make it down the aisle for the real thing (diaper, uh, malfunction). That's okay, there's always next year!
