Kaden's Christmas Program

Voyage (Kaden's school) had a Christmas program the morning of the last day of school before the break.  It's the school's first year doing this and apparently somebody dropped the ball big time because Kaden's teacher told me afterwards that the office staff was going around THAT MORNING asking each class if they knew any Christmas songs they could sing for the assembly that was in 30 minutes for all the parents who could come.

So, so many bad decisions involved here, so let's just focus on the (mostly) good, eh?

Gifts I did for Kaden and Lexi's teachers.  Cozy socks, foot cream, and toe nail polish.

Playing while we wait for the program to start.

That's Kaden in the red long sleeves in the almost center.

 Fun fact: Kaden walked in holding hands with his crush, Abby.  Abby's mom and I have known about this mutual affection for a while now, so we were sitting next to each other and tried not to laugh too hard about them holding hands.  Ah, young love.

Kaden's classes' turn to sing.  He spent the whole time trying to find us.  He finally did at the end.

Trying to keep Ari entertained.

The program lasted an hour and a half!!!  And only about two classes knew the words to the songs.  The person playing the keyboard-piano was the art teacher who had literally no warning to practice.  Most of the songs went like this: class not singing, art teacher gets frustrated that she can't hear them, stops the song after one verse and one chorus.

Good times.

Maybe next year Voyage will be better prepared if they choose to do a Christmas program again.

Anyway, after that I went to Kaden's classroom to help for the last few minutes of class.  The teacher had a little gift for each kid, plus there were two kids celebrating birthdays, plus a cute little treat the lunch ladies had put together, plus moms who thought they should bring a treat for everyone.  Needless to say, Kaden was all sorts of loaded up when we left.  :)

(And, yes, he was very good about sharing with the girls.)
