So after much deliberation on our part, Brandon and I decided to honor the request of being Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus at our church's Christmas Eve service. Our good friend Heidi Poppelreiter was the angel which made the experience so much fun. We had some practices for this night and some of them didn't go so great, so we were pretty nervous on the actual day. We just had to sit during some parts in a song and Aubrey just had to lay in my arms as quite as can be, and she did just that!!! She was so quite and still that people in the audience thought she was a doll. So much work could have been avoided if we had used a doll though :)
She was as still as can be yet during the last song, the last note, she opened her eyes, looked around and right as we went backstage started screaming. At least this didn't all happen on stage. The night wasn't all so silent, nor was it calm, but oh what a night. It was so special being a part of this and having your own child as the baby Jesus. What a special memory!
