Christmas Songs

When I received the flyer about the school Christmas singing program, I purposely ignored it because I really didn't want to go. It just seemed like another thing to do. After listening to Enoch sing his songs all week long, I discovered it was something that he was excited about doing. I decided to take Kate and listen to the songs.
It was so much fun! The kids all did such a great job and it really helped me get into the Christmas spirit (I know, a little late). They mixed up the order of the grades so the kindergarteners were in the middle. By the time it was Enoch's turn, Kate was pretty restless. Each of the grades sang two songs, but then you had the down time of each grade filing off the stage and the next grade coming onto the stage and getting in their places. It was well organized, but still a bit slow.
Luckily for me, Enoch was right in front of where I was sitting (it was only half of the kindergarteners, since the morning kids performed in the morning program). He was standing next to his best friend, Jimmy. What cute boys! (I really did comb Enoch's hair that morning and even put mousse in it. His hair has a mind of it's own!)



Everyone did fantastic job singing. So great, in fact, that Kate wanted to help too. While I was filming, she ran up onto the stage and stood next to Enoch. I had to go pull her off, kicking and screaming, when the song was over. They sang Gingerbread Rock and another cute song about mom and dad getting them for Christmas under the tree.

So cute! I loved that you got Kate going up on stage. I also loved that Enoch continued to look at you to see if you were watching him.

I'm so glad that I got there for the last song at least. I consider it a "tender mercy" that I was able to watch both Carson and Enoch perform, even though both of their performances started at 1:00. Great timing!
