He is very aware of when people are watching him and it makes him very uncomfortable. Logan was supposed to be Cameron's sheep and he had his fluffy fur on his back and was crawling around on his hands and knees saying "baa-baa". But when it was time to perform, he ran away behind the couch and wouldn't come out until I convinced him to at least watch! Emma wanted to be Mary and was happy that she had no speaking parts. But once again, when it was time to perform, she bailed. So Briley, our little actress, picked up the slack and did her part as well as Emma's. Briley was Samuel the Lamanite, 
a Book of Mormon prophet that foretold of the Savior's birth, and she was Mary. She was quite happy to play her parts, especially Mary. Her baby cousin was the baby Jesus and I think her favorite part was holding the baby! Her other couisin played Joseph.
After the little program was finished and the kids learned a little bit about the true meaning of Christmas, they got to open one gift. Inside their gifts, they found their new Christmas jammies.
They all went downstairs to change into their new Christmas jammies and suddenly there was this great stomping. They all looked at each with grins on their faces and bolted for the stairs. Who should appear? But Santa of course! He brought them candy canes and their stockings, and then he had to go about the rest of his evening. Briley, Emma and Cameron were happy to see Santa, but Logan was tired and done with pictures and Santa and would go no where near him.
The boys discovered Papa's remote controlled train. This has certainly been a highlight of their visit!
