Tommy's teacher sent us a picture of the kids preparing for their Christmas show. They were getting excited!
The kids dressed up for their big event. The boys had to wear white collar shirts and the girls could wear their Christmas dresses because they were getting bows for their hair. They posed for me before the show. Too cute.
Tommy's class and the after school kids performed first. Tommy has the green bowtie in the front.
Charlotte's class was next. Isn't that bow gigantic?? I can't believe she kept it in her hair!
At the end they all came out to sing We Wish You a Merry Christmas. I missed all but the last line of the song in the video at the bottom. Oh well. Still got a small part of it. :)
The renovated chapel space is really great. This is their first Christmas show in this space and it's so nice.
They have a huge screen behind them which is what Charlotte was looking at in the video that you'll see below.
After the show, the kids came home hungry because they had to eat a quick dinner before the show. Charlotte set herself up a little corner table in the kitchen to enjoy her turkey wrap. Ha!
Here is the promised video. I also missed the part of the show where Charlotte decided to do a little bit of a solo. There were no movement during that part of the song they were singing but she decided to put her arms in the air and do a little ballerina move while everyone was singing. It was too funny. But I didn't get it on video. Waaaaahhh. :( Oh well, still got some cute stuff.
Another great show. This is Tommy's last Christmas show with KK. Another milestone. Time goes on without my permission! How rude! :-)
I hope this puts you in the Christmas spirit like it did for me! :) Merry Christmas!
Each year, the daycare puts on a Christmas program with all the kids. We missed it last year because we were in Florida. Here are the prior year's shows if you would like to catch up. Christmas Show 2013 Christmas Show 2012 Christmas Show 2011
But this year was Charlotte's first year to be in the Christmas show. So exciting!
The big brothers and little sisters immediately found each other before the show. Time to play!
There were a lot of kids in the show. They did so great.
Here are a couple videos of their performances. They are adorable.
I know the video is long but it is so cute. Tommy didn't have much room to move his arms. :-) He is so serious about his performance. I love it.
I believe Charlotte is the youngest in her class. She's past the cut off date but they went ahead and put her in the next class up. She is smaller than the other kids but she seems to do just fine. She has been singing 'Go Tell It on the Mountain' for a month and very loudly. But you turn those bright lights on and she certainly toned down her volume. :) So sooo cute. Love the little wave at the end.
Look at those little Christmas superstars! Merry Christmas everyone!
Tommy's annual Christmas Show was last week. It was, as it usually is, pretty hilarious.
Here's Tommy looking spiffy in his green and white striped sweater. So dapper!
His class has 10 kids in it. They are so cute.
Squirrel!!!
Ha!! I don't know what he saw. It was apparently more important than the song. ;-)
They all had hand motions for this song. Only one kid got it right. Oh pre-schoolers.
I only had my camera for one day at this point. I didn't read how to take a video on it and I couldn't figure it out in the dark so I took videos at the end with my iphone.
You can tell it's the end because things derail very quickly. Pay attention to Tommy at the very beginning of the video. He still whips out the lion's roar from Halloween, even at Christmas shows. At 20 seconds, he cracks me up because it looks like he's just pretending to sing and looking very official doing it. At 25 seconds, he's bending over or something. No clue. At 37 seconds, some kid in a black suit takes a tumble and knocks down another kid forcing the teacher to go help them. Oh these kids. They are awesome.
The next day was the annual Polar Express Day. Tommy wore his robot jammies and brought Fluffy Doghouse with him to school.
PJs and sneakers, nothing is cuter! ;-)
Another successful Christmas show in the books. 2014 is definitely upon us! Time is flying!!
