st. joe's christmas program 2011

well, here we are, actually after, the annual st. joe's christmas program!  it was kind of a madhouse beforehand!  

it was soooo much fun and the program was pretty darn cute!  ALL of the grandparents and bunnie were there to watch the show!  just so i don't forget in the end, thanks for coming!!!  

(and, dad, thank you for videoing!)

 my little fam of four!

 E wasn't having any of the pics but she held her composure for this one.  

 see?  someone needs food!  ha!

i didn't want E to see me during the program because i was afraid she would cry.  so i had erin take pics for me. when i saw her looking like this, i went up and tried to make her smile.  she had the biggest 'wtf' look on her face.  the entire time.  she never even cracked a smile.  i'm sure she was ticked about her black nose and ginormous red bow - they were supposed to be teddy bears.  or chipmunks.  the verdict is still out.  either way, girlfriend was not happy.  

we were all laughing at her and she did not think it was funny.  at all.  

maybe she was leaving the spotlight for big sister.  little bit ate it up!!  she LOVED being on stage and performing her sweet christmas songs that she's been keeping secret.  

i mean really!  i asked her teachers if their little motions to santa claus is coming to town were a secret.  nope.  she just wanted us to be very surprised!  and we were!  

(also surprised that she's an entire head shorter than her fantastic four friends!)

i know how hard these teachers have worked with these kiddos.  there is no way in you-know-where that i could do their job.  they are incredible!!!  

santa claus is coming to town
(see?  they're motioning santa to come on in!  so funny!)

he knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake
(thumbs up for good - thumbs down for bad!)

little stinker saw me!!

the kids in girl and boy land will have a jubilee.  
they're gonna build a toyland town all around the christmas tree
(see? they're making toys!)

this is from go tell it on the mountain.
(O is already on the over the hills part - H on the right spotted his momma)

there shone a holy light

that jesus christ is born

here are about 17 of 22.  cutie pies!

sweet, sweet friends.

for the finale, all of the kiddos were on the stage at the same time!!  they even had an encore!  they're that good y'all!  i was glad because O and A were close to each other so we could get some pics.

WELL DONE, st. joe's!  these teachers are more fantastic than you'll ever know!  they do an amazing job with all of our kiddos and we love them dearly!  i think next year we should have ALL of the teachers come out on stage so we can show our appreciation.  lord knows they don't hear it enough!  

afterwards, we all headed to libby's in goldsby for some cocaine...

i mean breakfast.  

yeah, my mom totally let them eat creamer.  off the table.  

no complaints from the little bits though...

and E got to drink out of a big girl cup AND straw.  

oh, and rudolph was there…i didn't have the heart to explain to O.

it was a fantastic morning and we couldn't be more proud of our little ones!
