Christmas Programs [2015]

 We had several Christmas programs this year.

Christian had his first school program, which was in the high school gym. 

It is quite the event, involving many people in the community, etc...but it was fun to see our little man excited about being in it.

Noah really wanted to get dressed up too (this was several days prior to the program when I was having Christian try on some clothes). You wouldn't know it by his enthusiastic pose here, but this really was his idea!

Christian [MB church Christmas program]

Sunday morning (Dec 13) the MB church had their program. Christian has been going to the Wednesday night children's church this year. They sang many Christmas songs and did very well!

After church, we ate at Water's Edge with Ben's family (parents and grandparents). Santa was sitting outside the restaurant, and Christian didn't waste any time hopping on his lap. He told him what he wanted, "a remote control car or helicopter" and then proceeded to tell him what he thought both of his brothers would want. "Noah would like a truck, and Jonah is just a baby so maybe a teddy bear or something." It was so funny, as he looked like he knows he's not real, but he was just going to go ahead and cover all his bases anyway. Noah and Jonah had the opposite feeling, they wanted to stand at a reasonable distance from Santa.

I was quite proud to claim all these handsome boys as mine!

Bow ties for the win.

Sunday evening, Whitestone had their primary Sunday School Christmas program. Both Christian and Noah were apart of it. It was simple, yet entertaining all the same! Watching the 2-3 yr olds is always so funny.

We've had alot of singing going on at our house, they love to be involved!

Christian Christmas Program

The 2-5 year olds sang several songs and there were about 6 different speaking parts (one of them was Christian) prior to the big kids church play. It just so happened that the very cute little 2 year old was standing right in front of him with some very spunky and cute pigtails. Christian just couldn't resist the temptation to play with them, hold on to them, fiddle with them, the ENTIRE time he was up there. He would stop, then he reach out to touch them...pause a brief moment, then go ahead and hold on to them...but never to pull them. She obviously noticed, and turned around a couple times to give a look..and say "no"..but really was a very good sport about the whole thing. He did sing the songs, but not nearly as lively as he sings them at home..he was just so distracted. He said his part very clear and good.."the star in the sky, shone ever so bright..when Jesus was born on that blessed night!"

Afterwards, I asked why he was touching Sage's hair so much. He said very innocently, "well, it was in front of me and I wanted to touch it. I thought I could make her hair lay down." He had no idea that everyone had been laughing at him. 

I was maybe a little distracted with watching my own child...but I know they were all so cute up there...and did so good.

christians first program

Christian had his first Christmas program this year. He stood up there with the other Sunday School kids, and did more rhythmic bobbing than singing...but he participated nevertheless. 

He's front and center (not to worry this was before they started their songs)
