Preschool Christmas Pageant

Micah had his Preschool Christmas Pageant last night, and it was wonderful. We've been going to them almost every year, but it's different when your child is actually in it. Sooo much fun. It's children aged 2-4, and you just never know how they're going to behave. They sang a few songs, which were interspersed with the telling of the Christmas story, told in a child's language. The other tricky thing about tonight was the number of kids. All of the classes were in the front of the sanctuary together for the first time, and for a lot of the younger kids, Micah included, that was pretty overwhelming. But he did great! Here he is, all dressed up and ready to go. By the way, the shirt just would not stay tucked in, so this is the only picture I have of him with it like that. Liam was held by Derek most of the time so that Tim and I could focus on Micah. What you can't see in this picture was that he's wearing the same shirt that Micah wore last weekend to see Santa. It's size 24 months, and other than the sleeves being long, it really wasn't too much too big for him. Scary! For the first part of the performance, which his class didn't participate in, Micah sat in Ms. Pam's lap. She is one of his teachers. Here he is on stage. He sang a little bit on "Twinkle, Twinkle, Christmas Star" but other than that, just kind of stood there. But sometimes, during the telling of the Christmas story, he was laying down on the stage. Notice the legs... Sometimes he was facing in the wrong direction... But most of the time, even though he didn't sing, he was standing in his spot looking straight ahead or at one of his teachers. He did a great job!! When we got home, I wanted to take a picture of my boys in front of the tree. I think Micah had one too many cookies at the reception following the pageant but you be the judge!
