Christmas Program and School Party

Damien and I were saying how we cannot believe that we have a school Christmas program to go to.  It's hard to believe that Dylan is getting so big that he's in a program. It seems like yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital.  

For the Christmas program, Dylan had to learn 3 songs. We tried to work on them at home a lot, but he wasn't always so motivated. He would rather sing the Itsy Bitsy spider than We Wish You a Merry Christmas (or as he sang it, I miss you little Christmas).

All of the kids were their pajamas. Dylan has 5 boys in his class and 3 of them had the exact same Christmas pajamas, while Dylan and his best friend sported their favorite pajamas.  Dylan wanted to wear his dinosaurs.

Dylan was a little distracted once on stage.  The classes didn't get to do a full run through of their parts as school was cancelled that week because of the snow day.  I think that Dylan would have been distracted regardless if they had a run through or not, he's so active.  They had this projector thing on the stage that displayed something on the wall.  Well of course, Dylan ends up right in front of it, so I couldn't get any good pictures without the projector displaying on his face.  Oh well, the lighting wasn't that good either so either way, I probably wouldn't have got a "good picture"

The following day Dylan had his Christmas party at school.  The kids enjoyed pizza, carrots and applesauce.  They got to decorate sugar cookies....or lick the sprinkles, whatever way you look at it.

They got to exchange gifts too.  The boys and girls broke out into 2 groups and the teacher played music as they passed gifts around. It's really hard for a kid to pass a gift to the next kid without opening it.  Dylan ended up getting a spider man flashlight which he really liked.

I had to get a picture of Dylan and his best bud.

I hope that after Christmas break Dylan goes back to school without a hitch.
