5 Miles

In the midst of my To Do List (you can see it below–it's getting chipped away at slowly), we've had several Christmas programs.

On December 2nd, during our normal Women's Bible Study time, we had a Ladies Tea. The kids came out to sing a few Christmas songs to us. We were told they could dress up like animals or shephards. We tried to dress Alex up as a shephard (it was that or a lion–the only animal costume we have).

He didn't sing so much, but did a great job clapping each time they were done.

He spent more time watching the girls behind him then singing (even though he knew the songs), but here he was actually saying a poem about 5 little candles with the rest of the group. You can see others had problem with costumes, note the Giraffe that was at the nativity! Her mom said she hoped people would think she was a camel.

Then Will had two programs the last two Fridays.  Friday, the 5th, he sang with his class at the Kid's Christmas program at church. They dresse up as angels and say two songs–here's Away in the Manger:

Then the kids came and sat with us and we watched the older kids musical. It was cute.

Then, last Friday, he had his preschool program (It was a PROGRAM, not a CONCERT according to him). They've been practicing this since before Thanksgiving and they all did a great job. First his class came out and sang "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem". This was taken just after they came out, before they started singing. The little girl he's looking at was in his class last year as well, and they are good friends. She says they're going to get married. Will doesn't seem to care as much, he just wants to be a race car driver.

Then the other classes came out, one at a time. Each sang their songs. I was impressed with how well his class stood there while waiting. They they all sang 2 songs together. Will was excited they got to stand on the TOP step.

It was cute and only about 30 minutes, so that was nice!   And now we're done with all the programs for this year.
