Happy Holidays!

Last Friday was the holiday show at the kids' preschool/daycare. This is Megan's third year at the school, but the first time we ever went to the show--mainly because it starts at 6:30 at night and the kids are usually in bed at seven! But this year, because Megan's class actually practiced songs and we felt like we should do it...off we went to Pierce College!

Both kids were amazing. Michael's class was brought out and propped up in a bench with sections for seating. The theme was "Fantasia," and Michael was dressed like Mickey Mouse in the movie.

The school kept the front row of seating open for the parents of the kids who were performing so someone from the family could go take pictures. I went to the front, but was sure that once Michael saw me, he'd start reaching for me and crying. Nope! He saw me and started waving and blowing kisses like he was on a Rose Bowl float.


When Megan's class came out, Megan saw me, waved, and said, "Hi Mommy!" Then she sat and sucked her thumb through "Jingle Bells," "Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah," and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." During the final song, which was a chance for the kids to dance, she slept standing up while some of the other kids got their grooves on.
Both kids were totally exhausted, but it turned out pretty well! And everyone slept well that night...

That video is hysterical. She's got her own inner groove.
I just adore that picture of Michael. It looks like magic will start pouring from his fingertips at any moment!
