The kids were in their first Christmas program at school the week before Christmas and they all did such a great job! I was a little unsure about how our three toddlers would handle sitting nicely on the stage for 20+ minutes but they were great at following directions and they really gave their all throughout the program!
The kids were so excited when they spotted us proud parents and grandparents, and we got lots of smiles and giggles when they looked at us throughout the program.
The jingle bells were certainly a big hit. Payson and Hayden both had them in their mouths at one point and Payson bonked Madison on the head once, but, thankfully, she didn't seem to mind!
They were each very animated at different times of the program, sometimes really enunciating their words and performing with big motions and dances.
Madison had just gotten over a stomach bug so she was still a little worn out as we saw from her half a dozen yawns on stage!
The day prior the kids got to bring cupcakes to celebrate their birthday so I made these clown cupcakes to stick with their "Three Ring Circus" birthday theme.
The kids are getting more into role playing now that they are big three-year-olds. A few weeks ago Madison was riding her horse and Payson was pulling her. She decided that she was Mary and Payson said he was Joseph. It was really cute so I helped them develop a Christmas Story play around that. Hayden took on the roll of the angel, Mommy the narrator and Daddy the Innkeeper and, before we knew it, we had a little play on our hands!
The kids had lines to repeat and motions to go along with it. We performed the play several times for our families and while it never quite went as smoothly as it did when we practiced, it was still impressive to see their excitement and hard work pay off! And, of course, the grandparents loved it!

More singing and performing...

Those cupcakes are INCREDIBLE! When do you have the time to do that. Too cute!
OMGoodness!! Those kids just keep getting cuter and cuter. The videos were adorable!!! Wish we could've been in that crowd too. I love how you can edit your videos now and splice them together like that. Yes, your Christmas play was even more delightful when it didn't go perfectly!!! I laugh every time I think about Hayden getting up on the hearth and getting distracted by the Christmas stockings instead of saying her lines. She was so enthralled with being up on that forbidden high place, she could hardly contain herself!!! ha It was a thrill and I hope we'll have many more "talent shows" over the years with everyone participating. : ))
