Let's see if I do justice by explaining what Grace and Emme did for me and Mary.
When I got home from work Grace ran up to me and gave me a piece of paper telling me that it was a ticket for the "show" tonight.
With Mary on the love seat and me with the Max on the couch, Grace ran around and turned off every single light in the house. With everyone sitting in the dark, Grace finds a flashlight and hands it to Mary to be used to as a spotlight and gives me a glowstick.
With some Disney song playing in the background Grace started dancing around with the flashlight being shined on her and with me waving the glowstick around. After a couple of songs, Emme took a turn and danced around in the dark.
Once Emme was done, Grace got back up and started the finale. She decided to sing for this part of the show. Once again, all of us were in the dark watching the show. Grace starts to sing about the nativity but wanted people to act it out. So she stops singing and gets a small blanket to wrap around Emme's head so Emme could play the role of Mary. She finds a blanket and tells me to put it around me so I could play the role of Joseph. She found a baby and wrapped it in a blanket and laid it on the floor in front of Emme as baby Jesus. After Emme, me and baby Jesus were all set, Mary shined the light at Grace and she started to sing again. The song went in the direction of the shining star so Mary pointed the flashlight to the ceiling. Grace sung about the star, angels, and baby Jesus. After a few more lines Grace stops us and starts telling us that when she gets to the line "this is the spirit of God" that we all needed to join her in singing and raise both of our arms. So she starts singing again and finally gets to that line. Sitting the dark, a single flashlight shining on the ceiling, and our arms raised to the ceiling, we joined Grace in singing the line, "This is the spirit of God."
What a show!
