...a kids Christmas program.
This morning was the kids Christmas program at church. Seven of our kids were in the program. That means, in the picture below, you would have seven chances instead of one, to play, "Where's Waldo."
Molly had a small speaking part as a shepherd.
Five of our kids were angels. Even Jake. Three of them were in the front row which gave us three possibilities for public disgrace.
Here Jake can be seen adjusting his halo. Why they even let him wear one, I'll never know.
So far so good on the synchronized hand-motions.
One musical number included sunglasses as props.
Miss Chloe took her job as angel very seriously and did a wonderful job.
SaraGrace and Jordan also worked hard.
Jake...still going strong on the motions. {He was bribed.}
Notice the halo is gone.
He says it broke.
Look closely and notice where Jake put the sunglasses when not in use.
They fit snugly around his middle.
This move by Jake sent Taylor, Jeff and I into fits of laughter.
I know that we were rude.
But seriously...would you be able to keep a straight face?
The sunglasses on his stomach kinda took it over the top.
Notice all the boys on Jake's right. Especially the one with his hands in his pockets.
Could he be any less thrilled to be there?
The synchronized hand motions have run seriously amok. Notice the little boys on the right. Not one of them is doing the same thing.
When Jake had to continually adjust the sunglasses around his waist, he came up with a new plan. Glancing suavely at the little girl next to him {I kid you not} he made a big production of tucking them into his shirt the way Daddy does. When he finished, he pointed to it so the others would take note.
Kid on right still has his hands in his pockets.
But after all that, he put them back on. And hitched up his pants.
No one else was wearing their glasses except the little girl next to him who followed his lead.
Zoey, to the left, is showing some attitude at this point.
The glasses fell off, he bent down to pick them up and quickly put them back on.
Fail.
Zoey...chewing her nails (why?), Katie kicks up her heels, and Jake turns the wrong way.
They all look pretty confused in this shot.
Zoey was the only kid in the whole program who bowed.
Twice.
We did manage to finish the production without anyone picking their noses or pulling their dresses over their heads.
Yay! Success!
