The girls had a program at their preschool for Christmas. When they first told me Rylie had been chosen to be Mary I kind of panicked. Would she go on the stage? Would she be able to remember a line? Would anyone be able to understand what she was saying? Later that evening after thinking all day about it I said YES she can do it, I am not going to hold her back from this. A little bribery and I had her convinced too. She walked around the house for weeks saying her line "Let it be with me just as you say." Everytime we came upon a nativity she would pick out Mary and say "that's me" She did great, went on the stage without hesitating. Not sure we understood what she said but it was definitely cute. I am sure it helped that they practiced ALOT. I caught her doing this when we were getting ready, it was not provoked at all....too funny! 
I thought Gracie would be a bit jealous that Rylie was getting a "leading role" but it helped that the week before in church Gracie was center stage reciting a bible verse. She was just excited because she got a cute new dress and tights for the program. Then it turns out they had to put a gown on top of it anyway. She had lots of fun and didn't miss a word of The First Noel. She is definitely a performer.
The Christmas program was great, can't wait to go to the end of the year one too!
