It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

This is what Jane does when you
ask her to smile. Nice, hunh?

Although the commercial world started gearing up for the big day in October, we're going on about ten days of Christmas spirit in our house now!

Jane had her Christmas program at school today. They wrote a script based on the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? So it went like this: 

"Angels, Angels, what do you see?" 

"I see shepherds looking at me." 

Then the shepherds would come on and be asked what they see, and they'd cue the next group, etc. It was pretty cute! Here is an overview of the manger scene once everyone had been herded on stage. Jane's class is dressed as sheep on the bottom left (stage right... any theater geeks reading this?).

I can't even think of a caption... it's just awesome.
