The Christmas Musical 2009 @ Crescent Ave. Preschool

So the Christmas musical was a HIT! Well, at least I think my kids did awesome! =) There was a little crying but it turned out well!!

Connor sitting down getting ready to go perform with his class.

Connor walking into the church. He saw us sitting there and waved and said hi. =) I didn't really get a picture of the girls. Taylor had started crying and I didn't want her to see us for fear she'd want to stay with us. Emily was FINE. Taylor stopped crying when they got on stage and things settled down a bit. That was more than I could say for this one girl who cried throughout the ENTIRE musical. =( Poor thing! There was even another boy that the parents ended up taking out about 1/2 way through the performance.

Connor getting ready to do his speaking part. He did awesome! Very loud and CLEAR.

Emily with her teacher Miss O. She LOVES Miss O. =) She was supposed to be on the OTHER side of the stage with her sister and other teacher Miss Gina but apparantly she had a mind of her own. =( =D

Taylor with Miss Gina (where Emily was supposed to be too!). Taylor loves Miss Gina so it works out good with the girls having the two teachers! =)

Connor standing at the back. He must be a tall one to be put in the back. =)

When he noticed Daddy taking a picture (at this point all the kids were just standing on stage and the parents were like paparazzi standing in front taking pictures!!!!) he had to be his funny self. Of course, he was goofing around with Connor W (the boy next to him) during the performance too. But he sang and did mostly what he was supposed to do!

And as part of their festivities, they had tables set up for each classroom. They asked parents to donate baked goods and holiday crafts for sale with the proceeds benefitting the classroom. These were the cookies, peanut krackle, fudge and brownies that I made!

It was a good night and we were able to share it with Bigi, Uncle TJ, Auntie Debbie and Mona. Plus we were lucky to have Jackie, Brian and Grant there too!(They are the twins old daycare providers - well Jackie is. Brian and Grant are her sons). Uncle Harjinder and Aria were supposed to join us too but unfortunately Aria got sick so they had to pass. No worries! We taped the whole performance (well almost all of it!) and I will try and make copies for everyone's enjoyment! I know the kids had a blast and really had fun. I think I have some blossoming singers, dancers, and actors on my hands. =D

Christmas Musical

Tonight is the kids Christmas Musical. I'm so excited to see them dance and sing. The last couple days I've been asking the girls if they dance and sing in it and to show me. They start singing softly and moving their arms in movements. It's too cute!! Connor even has a speaking part! He's had it memorized since basically the first day. He even knows the girl's part before his.

It was too cute this morning I was talking to the girls about their musical and how much fun they are going to have singing and dancing. Then I mentioned brother having a speaking part and Emily said she wanted a speaking part too. =) So I said his line to them and Taylor and Emily repeated it to me. So cute! Not that they could memorize something this young but maybe next year!

We are definitely going to videotape it. It's supposed to be a short program and then they have a Holiday Boutique afterwards. They asked the parents to bring Holiday crafts and/or baked goods so I made a bunch of baked goods this past weekend (cookies, peanut krackle, fudge and brownies). Each classroom has a table and the proceeds from the sale go back to that classroom. Apparently they are even going to have crafts the kids made for sale to their parents. =)

Connor was so excited this morning and kept asking who was coming. He was so excited to hear that Bigi, Uncle and Aria were going to be there. He kept telling his teacher this morning that his cousins would be there. He asked if his Aunties and Mona would be there but I couldn't tell him for sure and didn't want him disappointed if they didn't show up because it sounded like he really wanted everyone there. Whoever doesn't end up making it, we'll have it on video!! =) Hopefully I can figure out a way to take bits and pieces out to share with everyone because I doubt I'll be able to upload the whole thing to the Internet. It'll be too big a file. But stay tuned. I'll definitely have pictures to share!!!
