The limelight

The boys had the chance to be in two special Christmas programs this year.  One was at school and one was at church.

The one from church was really funny.  They used all the kids from preschool  - about 2nd grade.  The older ones had speaking parts and the preschoolers were animals at the manger.  And the church joined in with carols in between parts.  so.funny.

Blake didn't make it on stage eventhough he was the lone chicken at the stable.  He saw us and came to sit in Nate's lap.  Owen did really well until he saw me taking his picture and he started laughing his hearty Owen laugh and saying, "Mama...I ate a DONUT!"  He was very proud of that.



The second program was at school.  I haven't downloaded video from that yet.  I was trying to be a cool, not over the top mom, and so I only took our small digital camera to video it.  MISTAKE.  I also showed up on time and not an hour early.  MISTAKE.  These preschool parents are serious!!!!  We had to sit on the back row!!!!  So we didn't get great pictures.  Once they saw us they were so excited.  Especially that daddy was there.  Owen's class sang first.  He made me laugh because he was mouthing words, not the right words, just words.  You could tell he was too distracted by the people watching.  Blake's class was second and he was mr. Cool.  He had his Santa hat tilted a little and one hand in his pocket.  He knew every word, but was very cool about his presentation.  hillarious.
This picture is blurry...but it is still an all time favorite in my opinion!

Loved seeing them get to do fun things like this!
