1st Grade Nativity Pageant

Nathan was a liturgy reader/angel at the Nativity Pageant which the 1st graders perform the last day of school, before Christmas vacation. What a great job they did! About 72 1st graders in all, and I couldn't have been more impressed at how absolutely perfect they all were--so sweet. After mass there was a big party in honor of them and their families.

Here's his costume, that I made from an old tablecloth (you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a masculine angel costume. You also wouldn't believe the look on Nathan's face when he thought I was going make him wear a tule-dress-with-sparklies-on-it angel costume.) I ordered a boy's costume on-line, however, it left the warehouse late and arrived the day after the pageant, NICE. So, I borrowed a pair of wings from my girlfriend, added Patsy's feathered wings, reinforced the halo with more fur and wrapped him up in gold cords. He looked great! The HUGE feathered wings from the other costume would've been perfect, but, oh wellll. There's still Brandon and Patsy. Plus, if you're ever in need to borrow an angel costume (even if it's just an attempt to brainwash your kid that he/she is an angel) let me know, I've got you covered:)
