Christmas Pageant

December 13th, 2009

Last Wednesday, Tyler’s class had their Christmas Pageant, so Flossie and I slipped out of the office for a bit to catch the festivities. First up, the kids meandered on out and took up their positions:

On the docket was a compilation of eight or so songs, lasting about 60-90 seconds a pop. I tried to limit my obnoxious parent actions, but did capture a few of the songs with the phone…

After the presentation, the kids headed back to their room, and we gathered around as there arose such a clatter. The kids sat all together, and wondered what was the matter. When, what to all our wondering eyes should appear, but Santa Claus with a bag of candy canes for all. Each kid had a chance to come up to Santa and tell him what they wanted for Christmas, and judging by this small sample size, there will be a run on dolls and transformers.

Nora…’s…baby…

The story was good…nothing like the book, something about Mommy breaking the passifiers and Tyler being mean to Nora.
