Catch Up/Christmas Programs

We have had a whirlwind of a week.
1) everyone had a high grade fever, but no symptoms.
2) church meetings/callings
3) a beautiful display of kindness at Costco
4) my car died mid drive home (in the snow)
5) car was luckily, an easy fix
6) a new witte cousin
7) an unexpected medical issue
8) weird work schedules
9) finals
10) Christmas programs

Since that is now at a pause (for now) and I am breathing, I will post both girls Christmas programs.

First, I was able to help in Bridget's Class. It was so much fun!

That boy is also in her church class.

Bridget is such a different girl for her teacher. I am so glad she has the opportunity to be her own person and be responsible for herself. They had stations and games and then a story. Bridget loves her teacher, and that is really great. Lucas's K teacher waits to leave the school until she sees Bridget because she knows Bridget wants to show her her outfit, or tell her a story or whatever. It is awesome.

There were lots of Moms to help, and it ended up being really fun. I laugh because all the moms were wondering who Bridget was because all of the kids talk about her at home. "Bridget likes Purple, Bridget thinks giraffes are cool, etc." It was funny to hear that she was little miss popular.

The next day was Scarlett's program. They sang and had a little party. It was a completely different experience. Scarlett, is nothing like Bridget. She is clumsy, and silly, and sweet. She doesn't care about the things Bridget cares about (READ ANYTHING BRIDGET CARES ABOUT)

She usually knows all of the words to songs first, and picks up on random things.

While all the other girls in Scarlett's class were dancing and singing, she was counting how many people were wearing red in the room. 32 to be exact. 

Lucas learned Silent Night on the Piano, Scarlett can sign it, and I know it in German.

We should have performed it at the Church Christmas Pageant. LOL

Tonight is Christmas Adam, and we usually have meatballs, but we decided to have soups to embrace this frigid weather. Gasp!A break in tradition!
