Christmas Program

Ryan and Abigail were both in a Christmas program at their school.  Ryan's class acted out the nativity.  They chose Ryan to be the Angel Gabriel.  He was not excited about this since he thought angels were only girls.  Ryan ended up with strep the Tuesday before the program.  While he was at the doctors office he told the doctor he was hoping he could get better by Thursday so he wouldn't miss his Christmas program.  She asked him about the program and he told her he had to be an angel and was not happy about it.  She asked him what he wanted to be and he said a shepherd or wise man.  Trying to help she suggested he could be a wise man angel.  Ryan looked at her and said, "This is a true story we are doing not a made up one!"  The doctor just laughed.  We love Ryan and all of the things he says.  Our old home teacher asked me if we were writing a book of his comments, I said no, but I really should write more of them down because I do forget a lot.

Ryan was better by Thursday and him and Abigail both performed wonderfully in their programs.  Ryan was a great Angel, and Abigail was the most animated while singing "Away in a Manger".  Here are a few pictures of them. 
He makes a wonderful Angel, but I agree with Ryan they could have made him look a little more masculine!

Ryan is so funny!! Sarah is so excited to be in the same Primary class with him. He makes a pretty cute angel. We were sad to miss the party on Saturday but have something for Ryan and Abbie that we'll drop off this week.
