Life on the Farm: Noah's Holiday Concert

Noah had been practicing for this day since the school year began. Every week after music class he would come home and share what he had learned. He practiced everyday and even taught his sister the songs. As the concert got closer he started sharing the hand motions that went with them. The day of the concert he described everything in detail, from their entrance into the auditorium to the order of their songs. He even shared how they would exit when it was done. He did a pretty good job as the evening went according to his description. The concert included: Deck the Halls, Rudolph the Red Noses Reindeer, Feliz Navidad, Hanuka, and Jingle Bells.

A closer look. Can you spot Noah? He's in the middle of the 2nd row, wearing a white shirt and red tie.

It was one of the best school performances I've seen and the gym was packed to capacity. He was so proud that Grandma Sandi was able to attend this special event.

The Gingerbread Man....

As part of the holiday celebration, Noah's class read the story about the Gingerbread Man. They also made and decorated their own Gingerbread Man Cookies. I was unable to attend this 2 day event, due to a lack of notice and a sick baby. I'm so glad my friend Jalyssa was able attend and sent a few pictures my way.
