Merril's Aunt Lynnette wanted her family to participate in the live nativity out at Tuacahn. To fill the cast, we were invited. These two fell asleep on the way there. It's a good thing because it was going to be a late night, especially for Mark.
Janet said Lynnette would have food at one point during the night and to come not starving but hungry. We found out we couldn't eat in our costumes so after a rehearsal, I ran up to the concession area and purchased 3 hot dogs. Between running through our parts, I made Mark and Mikayla chow down on the hot dogs. Then we were dressed in costumes.
We were told to wear warm, non-bulky clothes and dark close-toed shoes. I feel I under dressed Mark but he was with me and I could snuggle him to keep him warm off stage. The girls were angels. Julie said she was cold between parts.
Merril had been called out on a search earlier in the day and I wasn't sure if he'd make it back. He arrived late but they quickly dressed him and he followed around the shepherds. Jack was with him in the shepherd crowd.
Mikayla, Mark and I were townspeople. Janet was a townsperson as well and Mikayla stayed with her and I took care of Mark.
We did 3 shows, 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. It was a little cold but not too bad. The little kids did great! We prayed in the car before it started that we could portray the birth of the Savior in a good way. I didn't want our family to detract from the Spirit. I think we accomplished that!
