In case you are having trouble understanding what you are seeing, let me define roles. Daley and Becky (interns) along with Tate are the three wise men. Matt (intern) is an angel. Jack and I are Mary and Joseph. And, yes, Bill is the baby Jesus.
Pause for dramatic effect.
I realize that he and I look more like a couple at a toga party. That was not intentional. I also realize that this could seem sacreligous. But let me say in my defense that it was my husband's idea. Everyone knows that I would do almost anything for a laugh, but not my Bill. He is the most unsacreligous person on the planet, right? So I'm banking on Bill's piety and sense of judgment on this one. That and God having a sense of humor.
Below is a second shot of our dysfunctional manger scene including Miss Em in her costume. She really wanted to be Santa. Forcing her to be a christian character didn't seem very Christ-like, so Santa she was. I figured we were already pretty "out there" in our depiction, so why not let Santa in on the action?

I want our Christmas to be meaningful and memorable. This experience definitely fell in the memorable category. Meaningful? Not so much.

Um. Wow. Y'know, I'm sure that when he was actually a baby that Bill was a cute little guy, but . . . well now he makes about the scariest baby Jesus ever.
you are correct
for a moment I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing...and then I remembered...this is the Kollar family. And then it all made so much sense. ;)
That better be one BIG swaddling cloth!
Miss....this is why I LOVE YOU GUYS!! I wish we lived so much closer so that I could drop by to hear about these things in person! Bill is quite the "baby Jesus" but his idea is a crack up! As for the stockings?? Got an e-mail coupon from Company Store and with free monograming...done and done!
that is hilarious....and yes, the four sisters all live within an hour of each other...two of us live here in TN 5 minutes a part and the other two are in KY...one hour from us here...we can get together a lot because of that...so great and such a blessing!! Well...maybe not for the husbands, ha. Our brother lives in Arizona though...bummer, kj
You and I, could be very, very good friends.:)
This post is too cute. I like that you were..."out of the box" and wish that I could have participated as a sheep or camel or something.
Oh, and nice blog background! ; )
