Tis the season... And I enjoy it so! The bustle. The gift giving. Reading Christmas letter updates. Family visits. If I could change just one thing it would be the weather. Perhaps I will lobby my family for Christmas in Hawaii next year. :) If it must be cold then Let it Snow!
Yesterday morning was Katie & John's CCD Advent program. John, no doubt because of his easy going willingness to try anything, was chosen to place the ornament on the Jesse tree and to deliver the gift from the 3s class. The walk onstage was slow - there were awkwardly spaced steps to climb. It gave me a few extra moments to proudly admire him doing what most other children his age would be afraid to do. He even spoke clearly into the microphone when he presented the gift. He is such a good boy...
Last night was the preschool's Christmas program. It was Allison's onstage debut. She has been singing (screaming) Jingle Bells at the top of her lungs for weeks. I've contemplated moving her carseat to the far back row for noise control. :) She was't nearly as loud onstage but she was perfectly Allison. She sang every note with her thumb securely in her mouth. John and Katie also performed (is that really the right word?) in the program. John did exactly what he was supposed to do. He is so easy... Last year Katie bolted from the stage sobbing hysterically. So this year she decided a little extra emotional support would be useful. She carried Brown Bear (an honored member of the family) on stage and held him in front of her face most of the time. Katie pouted a bit and hid behind BB (or Bravo Bravo as Spence likes to call the bear) often. Still, she stayed on stage and never shed a tear. We (Spence, Katie and I) were thrilled with her perfromance!
