Preschool Christmas Pageant

We’ve mentioned it before, but we’ll say it again: Claire has an amazing preschool teacher. An amazing team of people run it, really. The classroom aide and her music teacher (who is also her friend Luke’s mom) put in tons of work as well. The last day of school is a half-day, and they organized an entire program for the parents to come and watch. The kiddos really put on a show! They sang 6-7 songs, acted in a play, and then held a party afterwards. If you’ve ever tried to get a four year old to diligently pursue anything (for several weeks), you know what a feat this is; when you add both morning and afternoon classes together to make for around 20 such four year olds, this was definitely a Christmas miracle!

Part of the show included a retelling of the Christmas story, and kids could pick their parts. There was a whole army of angels and a sizable flock of sheep to welcome those 3 wise men to the birth of baby Jesus! It was super cute.

Sheep and wise men.

Claire showed her usual spunk and enthusiasm and did great. She has been practicing non-stop at home for the past several weeks. We were so proud of her! Ainsley kept saying, “Sissy is singing good, Sissy is dancing good!” Besides a good showing of parents, the elementary school principal, several other teachers, and the superintendent came to watch.

We hope these pictures and videos make you smile as much as they did us. What a beautiful Christmas treat!
