Mary's Fairy and Her Sweet Ride to Bethlehem

while fixing dinner tonight the kids were dancing about to some Mannheim Steamroller putting on a show for us.  Mary tells us that she is a fairy. Jesse asks if she was a "tinkerbell" fairy to which Mary replies "no".  well, is she a "mary" fairy? no.  she then proceeds to describe her fairy-ness to us.

she has a crown with long hair. very pretty right?  but she also said she has a mustache around her lips and fingernails on her ears.  what a sight this fairy is! agh! ahahaha


she always keeps us laughing.  today she came to Jesse and said that she needed to talk to him about Jesus.  so she pulled him into her room and sat him down on her bed. she then tried to recount the nativity story but had some memory problems.  so Jesse began asking her questions about it to try to jog her memory.  she said they brought some food, so he asked what kind of food.  "bread and cheese."  he asked where they went.  (with a little help) "bethlehem!"  he then asked what Mary rode on all the way to bethlehem.  she thought about this one for a second and then galloped forward and yelled, "a MOOSE!"  joseph and mary's journey suddenly got a little more difficult....

Being the primary chorister I do know that "When Joseph went to Bethlehem" he carried bread and goat cheese in a little linen sack...

Wow, I'd hate to have to ride a moose, and be pregnant to boot!
