Friday... what can I say about Friday? I really have no words. Just utter heartbreak. Those poor families. That poor community. Just heartbreaking to proportions I cannot even fathom. I squeezed my kids long and hard when they got home from school. Squeezed them until they asked me why I was acting so strange. Then we headed over to church for the first showing of the annual Christmas pageant and I tried very hard not to feel guilty for being able to enjoy it.

For the second year in a row Maya took to the stage and actually participated in the production. She was the oldest angel and as such was "in charge" of the other angels, a job she took very seriously cough micro-manager cough.She sang all the parts she was supposed and a few of the parts she wasn't, all with a big smile on her face.

Abby was asked to sing a solo, something she was incredibly nervous about, but she pulled it off. Of course she did! So proud of my girls.
