The rest of the important figures in the Christmas story are played by real people, not baby dolls, however. Julia informed me that she's Mary, and I'm Anna, Mary's mother. Ethan is Joseph, and Madeleine, who Julia assigned to the part of Jesus last Christmas, now has a new role. In Julia's words, "Um, I think I'll let her be the angel." From playing Jesus to Gabriel, Madeleine is currently the only member of our household to take on a role opposite her real gender.
Jesus had a baby party recently. Tamara, our wonderful baby-sitter, and Madeleine were among the guests. Other notable attendees included babies Dashiell, Julia, Boo-boo, Madeleine, Aria, and the one baby whose name changes on a regular basis (today it's baby Serena.) The party was unfortunately cut short when Madeleine (the real one, not the baby doll) pulled the blanket, which Julia was using as a tablecloth, off the little art table, but until that point, a great time was had by all.
