Christmas Program

Last week was our church's kids Christmas program. Six of our kids were in the show. We were given a CD of the entire production in uh...probably Sept. and were instructed to listen to it as much as possible.

For me, after one complete hearing of said CD, I decided that 'as much as possible' might not be more than three times.

Total.

And then we misplaced it.

So my little kids didn't know the songs as well as some of the older kids.

Stop judging.

And then there was the 'stage fright' as SaraGrace would say. It does render one completely powerless.

"I didn't know there would be so many people staring at us."

"Everyone else seems to be having fun...maybe this will be okay."

"I guess this is where we do some motions to go with the song."

"I seriously have no idea what we are doing up here."

Thankfully, the big girls knew the songs.

My sweet Molly

"Um...everyone else is singing. What are we supposed to do?"

Molly had a speaking part and did a good job.

Little Chloe played Mary

"I am completely clueless right now."

Overall, the kids sounded really great {much better than the CD} and we enjoyed the play. Jake was mostly interested in the cookies that were served afterwards.
