But Isn't Cross Dressing Against Church Policy?

Last Saturday Cadance starred in the nativity. When Steve told me that we has been asked to play Mary, Joseph and Jesus I replied, "But she's a girl." Apparently this doesn't matter at two months. People said having a real baby added to the presentation a lot. And, Cadance was an excellent babe in Bethlehem. We wrapped her up in some brown cloth and she hardly made a sound. She did look slightly confused, but that's okay.

Our ward Christmas event was a lot of fun. The cultural hall was decorated like Bethlehem and everyone wore period attire. They had games for the kids and a member of our ward wrote people's names in Greek, Hebrew or Latin. It was pretty awesome. Here is a picture of us


And of me with my fake baby

  2. How fun! And it is true, they don't care for babies. :) My sister Stephanie was born in early November and was Jesus that year in the nativity.

  3. How fun for you. I always wanted a major role in the ward production of the nativity, but was usually a shepherd or something.

  4. Cool! That sounds like a really fun activity! I have always wondered if my girl looks enough like a girl that if I dressed her nondescript, would people be able to tell she's a girl? Maybe I'll have to try it sometime.
