What to do for Mary, when you have all boys.....


Well, you draw straws and see who is man enough to own up to the challenge....

Then you try really hard to hide behind the "shawl" and think that it really stinks to be the youngest because you always get the crap jobs. But, you are a good sport so you muscle your way through it.

After a while, you kind of get into it. This isn't so bad after all. You get to hold your newest cousin (even if his mom is holding her breath on the sidelines), and listen to someone reading the story of Jesus' birth.


Always posing for cameras, even though you have no idea what the future implications, of a photo of you dressed up as Mary, are.After a while that sweet little baby Jesus can't take it anymore.... And he gets replaced by a stuffed Santa.
Fun times with the Christmas story!

Well, I do retract the "no girl" statement, we did have one..... this little cutie right here:


But it wouldn't have gone to well if she were Mary, and we certainly couldn't have her play Jesus, and have a boy Mary at the same time! Just how much confusion does one need?

Poor Ansel... NO girls?! I guess it's easier for the girls to want to play Joseph. (Dawna and Adele sometimes take turns with being Joseph, or they end up BOTH being Mary).
