Amelia the Angel

Last week Amelia's preschool had a Christmas pageant. Amelia was honored to be chosen to be the angel in their nativity. Her teacher told us that they chose Amelia because they knew she'd have no trouble memorizing the part and speaking clearly (there were very few lines to be spoken, and all the rest were only about a sentence). I got my camera switched to do video a little late, so you're just catching her lines. Just before this, they ushered her out onto the stage with a microphone and told her to go ahead. She leaned into the microphone and said, "yeah... yeah..." but it came out REALLY loud. At that point she had everyone's attention! Her lines were, "Do not be afraid. I bring you news of great joy. Tonight in Bethlehem a baby has been born in a stable. He is called Jesus and He is our Lord." She delivered her lines really well and the audience erupted with spontaneous applause! Mike and I were so proud!
