Jackson's Christmas Program

We all loaded up after dinner the other night to go up to Jackson's school for his Christmas program.  We were excited to see how he would do this year since last year he took one look at us in the audience and started to cry!  He also wouldn't sing or do any of the hand motions last year.  Well, this year was a totally different story!  He did so great!  He looked so happy the whole time and was really having fun. The kids all dressed up in little costumes to represent the people and animals present at the birth of Jesus (obviously).  :)  Jackson was a sheep.  The program was definitely nothing fancy or showy... just cute little kiddos singing songs about Jesus. We really love this little school and especially his teachers this year.    

These two made picture- and video-taking pretty difficult.  They did really well considering it was bedtime when we left the house, but they were very squirmy.

The church had obviously gotten their tree from the woods, too.  It was huge and beautiful.  This church reminds me so much of the one that I grew up in when we lived in Rochester, NY.  Such great memories of that church!

Here's a video that is probably just for grandparents of J singing "Away In a Manger."  The camerawork is terrible... sorry about that!

 

We were so proud of Jackson!  I had a feeling he was going to perform better this year because lately I had been hearing him randomly singing songs while playing around the house.  My favorite was to hear him sing, "Now bring us some biggy pooty, now bring us some biggy pooty, now bring us some biggy pooty and bring some RIGHT HERE!"  He obviously didn't get what figgy pudding was.  :)
