Flashback to the Christmas Concert

I haven't taken a lot of pictures lately, unless you count taking pictures of the kids' artwork so I can make it into a bound book and get rid of the really large piles of original artwork I have diligently kept since they each started school.  Consequently, unless you want to see the work of Picasso-prodigy children, there isn't much to tell.  So I thought I'd flashback tonight to their preschool Christmas concert because I promised I would do this at one point, they were really darn cute that night, and I have nothing else.
Here they are, Liam distinctly saying "cheese" while I take the picture, ready to go to the concert and sing their little hearts out.

Liam walked in with his buddy Tbit, whom he hangs out with at church and school.  They have the same sense of cool style.

It's a blurry picture, but it's the best one I have of Micah making his entrance, and naturally his hands are in his pockets.  That kid came out of the womb practicing that move, I think.

Liam's group was up first.  He stood between a nose-picker and his friend Nicolina.

How cute is he when the nose-picker stops digging and you can see our little guy?

Micah's group was last.  It's a little blurry again, but I love it because it shows that he was actually singing, something Micah isn't always quick to do in public although you should hear him belt it out at home.

Mr. Cool again.  Loving how the crown is making his ears jut out!

Liam got a little upset at the end because I changed positions in the crowd to get a different angle, and he couldn't find me.  Look at how the lips are crying and the eyes are filling with tears!  Thankfully, his friend Nicolina talked to him and made him feel better, and he finished the concert just fine.

The grand finale!

So proud of our performers.

Cookie time - their reward for singing loudly!

Ms. Kathy, the preschool director, had a little chat with Liam while he was waiting in line to see Santa.

Two (three?) excited guys, ready to see the guy in the red suit and give him their wish lists.

I can't believe how great this picture turned out!  This is the best Santa picture so far.

I fell in love with this picture.  Santa looks like he's really listening to Micah, who is actually telling him something he wants, and Liam is looking on in glee at the whole thing.  They must have been good because they got what they wanted on Christmas morning!
