Tyler's school Christmas program

Tyler's preschool Christmas program was today. The kids were so excited, and we were excited to see it! First all the kids sat in front and sang some of their chapel songs and some Christmas songs. When the kids went to take their places on stage, Tyler decided he was going to stand on the riser the stable was on - about a foot higher than all the other kids. His teacher saw him and brought him back down with his class (pictured below...). After the group singing, each class got to sing their own song. Tyler's class sang a Joy to the World song (not the traditional one) and held up smiley face and manger signs. He actually sang and danced a little for this one! After the class song, the kindergarteners performed their version of the Christmas story, which was incredibly cute!

After the Christmas program, the kids were surprised to see Santa. Each kid got to sit with Santa and take a picture. Tyler was once again happy to see the man in red!

Later in the day, Tyler had his class Christmas party. I was able to go hang out with him for this. The kids had a sonic lunch, played Christmas bingo, made ornaments, and played a book exchange game. Tyler loved it all, but wasn't really into the book exchange game, where they had to pass their book to the left every time the mom reading the story said "ran." I think Tyler really wanted to hold onto the book he started with and really wasn't happy when he didn't end up with it. In the end though, after some more explaining, he was happy with the Ocean book he ended up with. It was a fun day!
