Christmas In Snowflake County!

Last week Will had his very first Christmas musical..."The Secret of Snowflake County".

It was a fabulous musical that reminded everyone in the audience what Christmas is truly all about.

Every year (myself included), we get all wrapped up (pun intended) with the commercial aspects of celebrating Christmas.  But this little play performed by a bunch of elementary students gave me pause about the true meaning of Christmas.

It isn't about presents, it isn't about parties, it isn't about fancy Christmas cards, it isn't about decorations, it isn't about coordinating family outfits for Christmas Mass etc...

 It is about the birth of of Baby Jesus.

Here is our little snowflake (complete with the oversized standard school play shirt)

Here's Will with one of his friends, William (by the way, his mom's name is Carolyn)

And here he is in action (dad, don't worry, this is the first and last time Will will wave pom poms ;))

And for the grandparents who couldn't be there...a very short snippet.

Great performance Will!
