Superhero Christmas Pageant

Last Friday night the kids had their Christmas pageant at school. There is something particularly special about seeing 1-5 years olds put on a Christmas pageant. This year's was especially cute because they had a twist on the traditional Christmas nativity scene and added Superheros to the mix. (The explanation was Jesus is our Christmas superhero). It was adorable. In the mix with Mary, Joseph, the wisemen and angels were Batman, Superman, the Hulk and our very own Wonder Woman. Addy was cast as Wonder Woman and looked awesome in her costume! The play was a little hard to follow (they had some ambitious teachers) but entertaining nonetheless and they did an awesome job with their songs, which included "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas", "What Child is This" and "We Wish you a Merry Christmas." I got a little sad realizing that this would be Addy's last Christmas pageant at this school.

Cameron's class also performed and also had some ambitious goals. They were supposed to do a tap dance, but it wasn't clear that there was actually any dancing taking place. I also had low expectations for the songs considering I'd never heard Cameron sing any of them (but he did know most of the words to Addy's songs). It was adorable anyway and especially funny when Cameron went up to the microphone several times to yell, "Hi Daddy!" We definitely have a performer on our hands.

The end of the show did not disappoint when Santa showed up! I thought for sure Cameron would be excited but apparently he only likes "grocery Santa" because he wanted nothing to do with him. Fortunately Adelyn was not afraid and she went up to him. Afterwards Cameron declared, "I only like grocery Santa, not gym Santa."

It was a thoroughly entertaining evening! Once I figure out (read- once Brian shows me) how to edit video I'll get that posted. Trust me you do not want the unedited version..it was a long evening:)

 I love seeing Wonder Woman and Superman next to Mary and Joseph.
