School Christmas Program

Told you I was catching up!

Every year Noah’s school has a Christmas program for each class – from little babies all the way up through Kindergarten and the after-school program.  Although this was Noah’s 3rd program, it was the first time he actually participated.  In previous years he would practice his songs at school so diligently and then stand up on the stage and look around like WTF and OMG.  Not this year!

His class on stage…

and even playing the air flute!IMG_4122

At the end of the night they try to get ALL of the kids up on stage together.  That goes as well as you would expect.

IMG_4130My mother tried to get video, but she wasn’t paying attention and was pushing the stop button every time she wanted to record, and the record button when she wanted to stop.  So we have some good video of the floor and assorted audience members.  I won’t post it here, as much as I know you want to see it.

Nonagenarian

Not a word I use often, but appropriate since this blog is about my grandparents, who are now both in their 90s!  Pretty amazing.  We gathered at my parents house in late November and again in early December (yes, I’m trying to catch up) to celebrate with dinner and cake. 

Singing Happy Birthday to Mee-Maw

Noah is trying to get her to blow out the candles, but unfortunately, she has no clue what’s going on (damn Alzheimer’s)…IMG_4080

So he finally elects to do it himself.  She’s okay with that.IMG_4081 

Mmmm…cake.
