Today Gideon made his debut as Baby Jesus in our church's Christmas program during the morning worship service. He was great! He was up in front for about 20-30 minutes and not a fuss. He had the children all up in his space, touching him, etc, etc, and he was great. He seemed to really enjoy having all the children around him. One of the very neat scenes was when Ira, an 80+ year old man who played the part of Simeon in the birth narrative, held Gideon as baby Jesus and read the Scripture that his life was complete for he had seen salvation. So neat.
Kathee and I think he was more relaxed for the two youth playing Mary and Joseph, Gideon is quite comfortable with. Sydney Quandt played Mary, who held him the majority of the time. She has baby sat for us, is at our house on Thursday, plays with him at Catalyst, etc. And Jacob Ryan played Joseph, and Jacob does a fantastic job playing with Gideon and loving on him, too. So it was pretty cool. Enjoy the pictures!
Here's Gideon on the church pew by the end of the church service!
