william and sierra were invited to be in a play called "the rented christmas," which was directed by a student here on campus. we spent all of november and the first week of december practicing the songs and going to rehersals. w and s were both carrolers in the play--william's stage name was "little joe" and sierra's was "linda."
sierra was immediately excited about being in the play, which i knew would be the case. but w was not into it at first. actually, he wasn't in it at first. but then when i explained that they'd get a cookie during each of the six performances, that they'd get dismissed from school early one day, and that there'd be a party involved, william was totally into it.
here are some pictures from a couple of the performances we went to.
s with other carrolers. all of the carrolers lined the stairs and sang along to christmas songs playing over the speakers. the carrolers were the first thing you saw when you entered the theater. 
s in her costume, which she loved. 
a view of the decorations.
each of the cast members got to wear a scarf at the end of the show.
can you find w?
it was a fun experience for w and s. and b even got to bake his first cookies--he made four dozen sugar cookies to help out with the play.

i'm glad w and s were able to do this! and appropriate that the "benefit" was a cookie and some time away from school, and a fun costume to wear. and who would have ever though of b baking cookies? making a fine guacamole--yes. but sugar cookies? that's a stretch!
I'm glad they are doing theatre like their Auntie Em. And eating cookies and cutting out of school early like their Auntie Em too.
Plus, Willie's facial expressions are priceless.
