Winter performances

Both Joseph and Ella's classes put on winter performances this holiday season which were both such a joy to watch!

Joseph's class, along with the four other kindergarten classes, performed on December 13th at 1:00 p.m. in the multipurprose room at his school.  The rumor circulating around the school about parents lining up to get seats over an hour prior to the show beginning was confirmed to be true as I showed up at 12:30 to reserve seats and the line was already wrapped around the front of the building!!  High demands for these kindergarten shows!!  Joseph was fortunate enough to have a huge audience there to cheer him on-Nani, Aunt Laura, Syd, Cole, Aunt Hollie and of course his sisters and Daddy and I were all there to support him and he did awesome!!  The students were given the choice if they wanted a speaking line and Mrs. Clark told me that he was so enthusiastic during practices that she gave him extra lines so he needed up with three different lines and he did great on all of them!  He had them memorized within a day and loved practicing at school and was so excited for the actual performance.  The show was called, "A Bear-y Holiday" and included different holiday songs and dance movements.  Joseph was a polar bear and just did such a great job!  

 Ella's performance was on Wednesday, December 14th and was an all school performance that was held in the newly renovated gym at the Westwood Club.  Her class sang three holiday songs and she was awesome!! She was SO extremely excited for her performance!  We got there early (not as early as Joseph's performance) but early enough to score front row seats and her face just lit up when she saw us there.  Nani was able to come to her show, as well, which made it even more special.  She stood next to her bff, Sophia, and did a great job concentrating and singing so everyone could hear!  After the performacne there was a potluck for the entire school so we stayed to enjoy the food and company of her classmates.

We enjoyed both performances and they definitely put us in the holiday spirit!  

Julia loved watching her older brother and sister and I'm sure is looking forward to the day when she gets to perform, too!!
