Holiday Recital 2011

Claire and Will's school held their holiday recital on the 16th.  Will's class performed to "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", wearing Santa hats and shaking little bells.  Will wasn't too sure what to think about the crowd, but at least he didn't melt down!  (Sorry about the photo quality - I had to zoom in, and then I cropped out the other children.)



Claire's class performed to "Jingle Bell Rock", and she was super excited, although this photo might make it seem otherwise:



She did a great job with the choreography - one of the best, in our opinion.  :)  A couple of weeks before the show, we were trying to figure out which song they would be performing to, and Robert just started listing off random Christmas song.  When he said "Jingle Bell Rock", she said "That's it!  That's it!"  She practiced a lot at home.  :)

We have a video of her re-enacting her performance during Christmas at Ma & Bob's house.  Our favorite part is towards the end, when she gets down on her knees, holds out her arms, wiggles her hands, and exclaims "Merry Christmas Everyone!!!"  It's near the 2 minute mark.
