Holiday Recital

The kindergarten classes at Bode's school put on a holiday recital.  We attended, and like most parents, took a ton of pictures.  First up are shots of the kids before the program started.  The kids were all wearing little Santa hats.  They looked adorable.  Per the norm, Bode needs to be more photogenic :-)
After the pictures, it was time to sing.  They started with a song.  You can never go wrong with Jingle Bells.
Mixed with the songs were some memorized lines by groups of three children.  These were four-line poems.  Bode has been working every night try to remember his line.  We coached him to speak loud and in a clear voice.  Evidently we didn't believe him when he told us he would be talking into a microphone.
In case you can't tell (what are you, hard of hearing?), Bode's line was, "R is for Rudolph with his nose shining bright, Leading Santa's sleigh, he's a wonderful sight."  We were very proud of our little dude.  There were more songs, like Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer, but the above was the highlight of the show (at least for us :-)
School is officially over for the semester.  I'll work a couple days between now and January, but for the most part, we are going to rest, relax, and eat :-)  I'm sure we'll post more after Santa comes.
