Thursday night was Alexander’s School Christmas program! \u00a0He had been preparing for weeks and was so excited (and surprisingly not<\/em> nervous– did he know he was supposed to be?) for his big presentations.\u00a0 He knew is class song super well (he’s been singing it around for days).\u00a0 He had been working on his slides since early November, talking and\u00a0typing in the words, finding pictures, practicing his announcing lines and swiping on time.\u00a0 And we finally had his costume together.\u00a0 With the help of Mrs B.,\u00a0 Mom to the other two soldiers, we tried to go as inexpensive as possible using red felt, old coins we had from “The Wise Men’s gold”\u00a0 in our nativity set-up, school pants, and plain black t-shirts,\u00a0and glitter glue.\u00a0 Alex had the great idea of using the coins as buttons, and everything fell into place about 7pm the night before… while doing Christmas cookies.\u00a0 Lucas, Aidan and I made pretzel kiss wreaths<\/a> that Thursday afternoon, and we also brought some of our Peppermint Macarons<\/a> we made on Monday.\u00a0 (We piped a white chocolate peppermint ganache<\/a> in the middle and these things are quite possibly the world’s yummiest thing you’ll ever put in your mouth.\u00a0 Healthy?\u00a0 Absolument pas!)\u00a0 But Aidan says they’re his favorite (Muma smiles.)<\/p>\n

We arrived super early, and saved p\"12-11-2014laces for Nana, Grammy, and Grampapa in the front row. \u00a0SweetFriend who was a toy doll in their gymnastics program was running around batting her false eyelashes with big smiles and excitement at all the friends as they arrived.\u00a0 Alex was ready and waiting… and waiting.\u00a0 In exactly the place he needed to be… waiting to begin.\u00a0 The first song was their whole class singing “All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth.”\u00a0 They got off to a bumpy sound-was-off start (much to Buddy’s confusion- but he handled it amazingly well.) but \u00a0got right into the groove. \u00a0They were super cute up there- most of them missing well more than their two front teeth, and they finished really well.
