First Christmas Pageant

Claire's school held a holiday pageant last Tuesday night, so Claire had her first moment on a big stage! Each class performed a song, and Claire's class was supposed to shake little noisemakers to "Feliz Navidad." Eight of the kids in her class were able to make it, and as you can imagine, it was somewhat organized chaos up there. We were seated several rows back so the photos aren't great, but you can get an idea of how it went.

The class (Notice that she was the only girl! There are a couple more girls in th class that didn't make it, but they're definitely outnumbered.)

Their "performance" was definitely good entertainment. We only stayed for a few more songs - someone was getting pretty fussy and wanted to run around rather than sit in Mommy or Daddy's lap. We tried to get a few photos before we left - this was the best we could do.

Overall it was fun, and I was glad that she didn't freak out on the stage. Maybe next year she'll actually participate!

Well, she certainly found something interesting about the floor! How funny! Oh well, she kept herself entertained and didn't cry. I noticed a few of them were in tears.
