And, yet another program done….

only one more to go next week!

Tonight saw the Pup and Bug up on the stage for the second year in a row for the big School Christmas program. The Auditorium was filled to capacity, and there were many, many dressed up little guys both on and off the stage. Some even had a Makeover for the occasion. Like so:

Ain’t he a stud? Even the Diva was impressed:

We had to wait till Act Two to see JJ Darlin on stage, and then Act Three saw Bug taking the stage first, then My little star, the Pup, doing a Mexican Hat Dance with her classmates.

It is too a Christmas thing – the way it’s written into the program: The Littlest Christmas Tree.

She’s a natural, of course – and cracked us all up when she finally saw us waving and did her cutsy little grin, then even – in the MIDDLE OF THE DANCE – snuck in a wave to all of us with her hand by her hip. They’d been told for TWO WEEKS they weren’t to wave to the crowd, but she? Oh she managed to slide one in anyway.

The girl is serious star material. Heh.

Then came her approximation of a curtsy….

The child is seriously TOO CUTE.

And Ms. L, the music teacher is a saint to do this every year. In case you’re wondering just HOW MANY kids were in this program? Here’s the final group shot – and yes, there are kids lined up in front of the stage in the audience too for the final song.

Ms. L is likely the bravest teacher I’ve ever, EVER, met. And she does this year after year after year. All the kiddos behaved beautifully, and most of the parents did as well. There were some moments I wanted to smack someone in the head, but overall – another big concert crowd survived!

The final one is next Tuesday – the girl’s band concert, and we’re all done until spring. Thank goodness!
