we had a little miracle happen this season. madison has quite a personality and is definitely a chatterbox. but get her around a group of people and she freezes. we joke that it takes her about an hour to warm up and after that she's your friend.
this year was her turn to be mary in the lebaron family nativity (they take turns by age). we figured there was no way she would put on the costume, let alone stay in front of the whole family for the duration of the skit. we prepped her long and hard - who mary was, what she wore, what madison would do, and how it would be fun. madison was really excited but i still thought there was no way she'd do it.
when it came time to get dressed and ready at gma lebarons that night i was prepared for a stubborn little refusal to cooperate. much to my surprise, madison happily got dressed and donned the costume in front of the whole family. and not only that - she was SMILING THE WHOLE TIME. every time she saw a camera she grinned from ear to ear. it was so fun to see her all of a sudden grow up and play her important part in the nativity. she was so careful with baby Jesus and lasted almost to the end of the program before finding her way to dad's lap. i couldn't believe how well she did and was so proud of her.

isn't little quinn the cutest, chubbiest little shepard you've ever seen?
what about this little sheep?hilarious but adorable.
{the great grand-kids}i loved watching my girls participate in the nativity program because it brought me back to when i was a kid and did the same thing with my family. i loved the chance to to focus more on Christ and be reminded what the season is all about.
