Christmas Musicals

This was the first year that both girls had Christmas musicals for school. They were both SO excited!
Brenna's was first. And this year she had a speaking part! She was so excited about being Teeny the Elf! Her mother, however, was less than excited about having to create an elf costume. Creativity.... not my thing. But I put my thinking cap on and went to work, and I have to say-I was proud of the outcome!

Luckily she had a line that said something about it being so cold at the North Pole that even her shoes lost their curl, so I didn't have to figure out how to make pointed elf shoes. She wore her Toms and we put my Christmas knee socks on over them and called them elf shoes!
She did great at her performance! She got all of her lines right and was even part of a "10 elf solo"!

These two watched the entire performance very intently!

I was so sad that her performance fell on Josh's day at work. But Brenna was well supported by Memaw, Aunt Emily, Wyatt, Graddy, Aunt Kim, Nina, and Kyson! She's one loved little girl!!
Macie's musical was the Friday morning that school got out. Luckily I was able to work my schedule to be there. Memaw and Nina both worked their schedules to be there too! Mrs. Brandi and Maylee came, I got Brenna out of class to come watch, Kyson brought Nina, Aunt Emily came, and Josh got to come before heading to the deer lease! Macie Claire had a great turn out!
It also happened to be pajama day at school, so she got to wear her cute Christmas PJ's from Aunt Bit! I was a little upset that she didn't get to wear one of her cute Christmas outfits, but luckily she had cute pajamas to wear!

She did great on all of her songs! And as I was sitting there listening to the songs, I was thinking "I think I hear Macie's voice above all of the other kids in ALL of the Kindergarten..." But I convinced myself that I was just imagining it. Then I looked over at Josh and he was cracking up.... and I KNEW that I did in fact hear Macie Claire belting out her songs! That girl's got a set of lungs!

After her performance, her class had a breakfast Christmas party. Aunt Emily and I got to go down for a couple of minutes to say HI.

Her class had an assignment to write down their family's Christmas traditions. Macie wrote "Christmas Eve at Nana and Papa's house" and "We have an elf on the shelf named Chris". ha! I love that of all the things we do and traditions we have, that those two stuck out in her head.
I love this little stinker!

I was so proud of both of my girls and how well they did at their performances! I love watching them and seeing the pride in their eyes when they see their family there to support them. I hope they always know how blessed and lucky they are to be loved by so many people!
