Luke's Christmas Program actually happened this year "before" Christmas... weather was good, so it occurred when originally scheduled.
I got the boys all dressed up in their Christmas outfits - from last year. They actually did pretty good at "posing" for me together in front of the tree. But our lighting in the house at night, SUCKS, so all of them turned out fuzzy, so I tried to do a little editing to distract from that fact.
Here they are...
They did the program a little different this year by performing in the Fellowship Hall rather than in the Sanctuary. The lighting for pictures was WAY better, but we didn't realize that in order to get a good seat, we probably should have arrived an hour early rather than right on time. This means, our seats were way in the back, and off to one side.
When the Four Year Old performance started, I moved to the middle to try to get a better view for taking pics. This is the traditional, "Wave at your Family".
After this, I decided I needed to get closer, so I went up the center aisle and sat on the floor.
I'm so glad Luke was in the front row. His teacher, Miss Sarah, is in the purple sweater.
He didn't sing all that much, but he did do some of the hand motions.
This was the view from our seats... way in the back.
After the program, Santa was due to arrive to hand out gifts that the school was giving to all the children. We stuck around for a little while, but it was taking forever for Santa to arrive.... so I put my camera away, and we got ready to leave. And wouldn't you know it, as soon as I closed my camera bag, Santa came out from the kitchen. Since we were in the back (by the kitchen), Luke and Grey were the first kids that Santa saw. They were so excited, and yelled "it's Santa". He came right up to them and gave them both hugs.
So sad I don't have a photo of this, but I will cherish that memory forever. That really is what is SO wonderful about this blog... journaling all these Special Little Moments.
