Christmas Program No.1 down!

Well, last night is over. Sorry that I don't have any pictures to post yet! Hopefully I'll be able to have someone send me some later. I know that there were several taken, I could see the flashes from backstage. Despite some minor (major to me) difficulties, the program went without much trouble! There was just a few different sections... I was backstage and the drama had started when I realized that the icicle lights edging the platform were still on, nothing like shedding a little light on the sets when the people come out... oh and the lantern didn't get turned on.... or when the narrator didn't realize we weren't doing a song, so there was all this dead space. He was waiting on the lights to go off and the song to start, and we were backstage waiting for his words to cue the actors in... or when "Mary" forgot a line and "Joseph" had no clue when to go onstage... or when a choir member shows up backstage halfway through to replace the batteries in one of the mikes...yeah little things like that :) Baby Jesus was absolutely adorable! He moved some when we had him backstage, but when he got out front, he didn't move hardly at all. I think we are going to remove the paci tonight! I want a little action from the baby! He's so adorable that he looks like a doll, but.... He's not! Anyway, it was great fun, except that the nerves didn't hit me until around 7:30. I was standing in the back waiting for the intermission so that I could go and switch the platform around, and I started stuffing food! Two pumpkin roll slices and four cookies in just a matter of a few minutes. That's when I knew I was nervous :) I wanted pizza, but I'm glad I talked myself out of that one! I won't be able to give an update or pictures until probably Monday. I might be able to send some pics tonight via my phone. I'm not making any promises! Well, I hope you have a wonderful day! And hopefully this post isn't boring! See Ya!
