Preschool typically has a program either at Thanksgiving or Christmas or sometimes both, but this year we decided to do the Thanksgiving one in conjunction with Grandparent's Day and to just focus on the Reason for the Season and not stress it for the Christmas program. So we picked our favorite songs, practiced and then the day arrived. The room was packed with Grandparents, parents and other special family members and they were nervous and so was I! This would be my first time presenting our program, but my little friends did wonderful! I was so proud of them! And then it was time to put on my mom hat and watch Miss Delaney, who also did an awesome job! Then at Christmas at preschool we just had a fun day with Pastor Russ coming in to read to us, special snacks (cupcakes for Jesus' b-day) and a visit from old St. Nick. Now Gretchen's school program this year is going to be in conjunction with President's Day so watch for that, but she did participate in our church's program. Well after many changes to script, who was in charge, who was participating, and many prayers the program went off beautifully, which still amazes me if you had been there for the last practice, whew! We joked that we should pray for stage fright to subdue some of the cast! Gretchen had several speaking parts and a short solo, very impressive I must say! Delaney could have taken part, but decided to pass on the opportunity. As always I feel some tears when I watch either one of my beautiful daughters perform. And since I was on teacher duty I really didn't get pictures at preschool, so here is a picture of Gretchen in the church program.
