Holiday Performances

Hi Mom and Dad

Jake didn't have a holiday performance this year, they had their performance earlier in the year I think to keep the music teacher from going insane trying to have one for each group of grades.

Tanner and Faith both had theirs though.

Tanner had several performances of theirs, for the school only and two times for the school and parents (so the 1/2 days kindergarten kids could be in it and one without them). His performance was very cute. It was kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders. They sang some Christmas favorites that Tanner was practicing for a few weeks in advance through the house when he thought no one could hear him. He wore his antlers and sang the songs and did the moves, without A LOT of entusiasm, but he did do them, which was a plus.

Foxy Lady!

Faith had her performance the same night at the clubhouse. This was our fourth and last Smart Start Preschool performance, so it was a little bittersweet. Ms. Erin has been so great for both Tanner and Faith and they have loved their pre-school experiences, which have both included elaborated holiday performances. This year they were doing The Mitten, which is a Ukrainian folk tale. Faith was thrilled as she got to be a fox and had been practicing her "fox walking" in preparation. They also sang a bunch of Christmas carols after the main performance was over. Faith sang all of them at the top of her lungs and was VERY into the whole performance.

Nothing like little kids singing Christmas songs to kick the holiday season right in the butt. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy Season, whatever your holiday!

Feliz Navidad
