December Happenings 4
For the Oansa Christmas party the leaders asked everyone to dress up like one of the characters from the biblical Christmas story. Our neighbor Mickey dressed as a wise man. He carried the Ecuadorian flag for the flag ceremony. Joel, complete with star costume, waited patiently with his group for the activities to begin. Amelia, with a long line of angels, began to march around the Oansa game circle. Marisol and I joined the parade with the other Marys and Josephs. I have to say that we were the most "life-like." Joel won the prize for best star costume! My talented wife made both Joel's and Amelia's outfits! Marisol's brother Hugo dressed as the golden gift from the Magi. Each of the groups had to form a tableaux of the manger scene. Here is a picture of Amelia's group. Joel the star shone over his group. Our niece Cloe tried on Joel's star costume. Angel Amelia posed with her shepherd cousin Zoe. Joel took a break from his star costume to eat pizza
