Mary Christmas from Alexia

As per an earlier post, this year Alexia was cast to be Mary in the annual Christmas show put on by the Sunday School kids at Salem Lutheran Church.



She did a great job reciting her lines... and here she is in action:


On Stage with Joseph:


Reciting her lines:


Pre-Show greetings with Nana and Poppy:


We are very proud of how she took the initiative to memorize all her lines and perform with such confidence. Nice job Alexia!

Later that evening we had fun playing Wii Bowling and the classic Board game of Life with Nana and Poppy.

In other news, we discovered that Alexia was not familiar with the term "bobtail". This vocabulary gap came to our attention while she recently sang "Jingle Bells" for us in the car.

Here is her slightly modified (and possibly an improved version, in my opinion):

Dashing through the snow
in a one horse open sleigh,
o'er the fields we go,
laughing all the way!

Bells on cocktails ring,
making spirits bright,
what fun it is to laugh and sing
a sleighing song tonight!

(You know the rest)

Of course we had a good laugh about it.

Finally, in case you were wondering "What is a bobtail?", well, you can read all about it right here.
