Yesterday and today were the kids' school performances of the Christmas Nativity play "
The Raggedy King". Rhodri went to the Monday performance and my Mom and I went to the Tuesday performance. Rhiannon was in the role of Mary and Tryfan was a camel.

I think originally Rhiannon wanted to be Mary because she didn't want to have any lines, but when the performance came she was a bit grumpy that she didn't get to do any dancing or talking.

The whole thing was ridiculously adorable and heartwarming, and it brought tears to my eyes - all the gorgeous children trying so hard to remember the dance moves and words to the songs, with their missing teeth and carefully fitted costumes. Rhiannon managed to maintain a pretty sour expression throughout the whole play, but as someone pointed out, Mary had only just given birth so shouldn't be expected to be in the best of spirits!
Grandpa Carl would have been laughing so much at Rhiannon's facial expression.. I'm sure he was looking down from heaven and laughing to himself. Just thinking of him laughing at her expression brings a smile to my face (as well as tears to my eyes).
