Our Star

Patrick shone in the Abracadabra Christmas play yesterday, which took place during a sweet church service celebrating the joy of children. Each child was assigned different parts of the Christmas story (soldiers, innkeepers, donkeys, trees, etc); Patrick and his fellow munchkins were stars in the sky. At several key parts in the narrated tale, Patrick and the other stars were cued to stand up and say "twinkle twinkle twinkle." The munchkins seemed somewhat bewildered by the whole thing, but were so adorable it didn't matter. Patrick was on much more solid footing at the wrap party afterward, where he thoroughly enjoyed the treat buffet and no miniature cupcake was safe from his sticky grasp. He conked out on the short ride home, but his glittery red star shines on at the top of our tree.
