Now There Were Shepherds

Declan's Christmas program was this past Thursday night. His class was dressed as the shepherds in the program. Declan also had a line to say with a few other kids. "Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock". We told him what a great shepherd he was, and he said he thought he looked "ridiculous". I'm not sure where he heard that word in that context. You can see him in these pictures with the dark head covering and plaid robe. Plaid? His favorite song for the night was a very modern version of "Joy to the World" in a very chant-like tune. He keeps telling Megan that the version she has learned for her upcoming Christmas program isn't right...
