Recently, I posted the above picture on Facebook. This was a picture of our two middle grandchildren at a practice for a Lucia pageant at their church. I put this caption by the picture:TROUBLE TIMES TWO! I thought it was fitting to update you on how it all turned out.
The pageant was this past weekend and I am happy to report that, while challenging, these two actually made it through the performance. It was a bit rocky at the start when both went missing in a big church. They were later found by one father, and held hands upon returning back to where they should be.
His role was to be a Tomte in a wagon simply looking cute. Nailed that!
Her role was NOT to be in the wagon, pass out candy canes to audience members, and then follow the wagon trail out of the sanctuary. Almost nailed that. She ran out of candy canes in no time and
lingered longer than the "train" leaving the station.
Then her older sister - a rule follower - entered and did what she was supposed to do: be a Junior Lucia.
She would barely even look at me on the way down the aisle!
She's the one standing right in front of Lucia ever so serious.
The two other family members are still too wee to be in the Pageant. But
they were in full character as well - he with his plaid shirt and grin and she with her straight-up
hair and mouth posed to comment.
As for this grandma, the biggest challenge was directing this cast of characters into position to take a group photo!
Take one!
Take two!
And it's a wrap for 2015 Lucia Pagaent this year.
They're all so dang cute! :)
