It's that time of year isn't it - and while moving house removed us from one circuit of social events, we've still managed to slide into a slighter less packed agenda down in Brisbane. Last weekend was our new Church's community carols night, and we took my Mum and Greg's parents along to enjoy the evening and to watch Ellen's debut on stage. Dressed as an angel she joined a group of other littlies singing Away in a Manger and Silent Night. Typical of a child of mine, she managed to trip on her costume on the way up the stairs, lost her halo and had to hitch her skirt up while on stage, but apart from a rather inglorious start, she did really well - even remembered to sing the words instead of just staring out at the crowd. She enjoyed the occasion so much that when she came off stage she didn't want to go back and sit down again - she wanted to stay and go back up on stage to sing again. It was a great night, and the next day my Dad had the 'Ellen inquisition' on why he didn't attend - poor Dad had to explain himself a few times over (he was babysitting my baby nephew).
A few pics of the girls in their angel costumes that Nanna very cleverly made - Olivia's was a tad big and her halo caused her some annoyance, but they were very cute...call me biased!
