Away in a manger...

Here, at long last, for your "awwwww!" pleasure, are pictures of Celyn's lovely nativity concert on Friday. I have to say her teacher and class assistant did a fantastic job and all the children did a fantastic job too. Considering that they're only 3 and 4 years old, they said their lines clearly, they sang brightly and you could hear all the words, and they knew where to go and what to do on stage. Fab, fab, fab. Brought a tear to my eye it did. And my girl...well...what can I say. So proud. Just so proud. And my heart swelled a thousand times when she came into the hall in her lovely Star of Bethlehem costume and the first thing she wanted to do was find us. When she spotted Danny and me sitting there, her face just beamed and she couldn't resist a little wave.
















l-r Celyn with her teacher - Celyn with two of her good friends - Shepherd (such a cutie!) - King and cast (LOVE the ears!) - One of Celyn's good friends with her mum after the show - Celyn doing her thing as the angels sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star :-D (love that halo (girl 2nd in from the right)...all the other angels had halo envy! I teased her mum about it after - chortle, chortle)

So how scrapable are these photos on a scale of 1 to 10?

Celyn's eyes have dark rings under them...on account of the fact that she was actually not well, which we didn't discover until she was on her way home and asked if she could get in her PJs and watch TV (watch TV, yes; get in your PJs in the middle of the day? Not Celyn at all). Playing around with the thermometer an hour later, quite by chance, I discovered she had a temperature of 101...and I spent much of that evening dabbing her down with cool flannels and shoving Nurofen in her as it carried on soaring to over 103. Horrid. It's always horrible when your children are ill. She was better by Saturday though (phew!)
