The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!

How could it be anything but the best, with our own Emma as Grace Bradley, the pastor's wife who must transform  a passel of rowdy kids into the Holy family, wise men, and angels before they present the Christmas story to the congregation?  Assisted by her coach's whistle, she got the job done!

A very special backdrop to the performance was a series of restored stained glass windows created by Louis Comfort Tiffany for a Swedenborgian church in 1902 and hidden away for years after the Cincinnati, Ohio church where they were displayed was demolished in the 1960s for a highway project.  The windows were rediscovered in 2001 and underwent careful restoration to treat metal fatigue and distortion, and remove built up dirt.

Cast party at Papa Rollo's!  After pizza, was time to take on the bad critters in a video game.

In the small, small world category:  Miss Linda, who directs the Waco Children's Theater, told Papa Tom about her high school gym teacher back in Arkansas who was named "Mrs. Cloninger." Turns out Miss Linda's gym teacher was Papa Tom's Aunt Nancy.
