A couple weeks ago (on January 19th), Brady and Aiden’s preschool did their Christmas concert (yes, in January – because December is madness so they do it in January – I approve!). It was super cute – 90 preschool-aged kids singing (and signing) 8 songs about baby Jesus, angels and camels…among other things. I could tell Aiden had his stuff down…he was doing all the hand movements as they sang each song. Brady, on the other hand, was purely following the music teacher – which was just as stinkin adorable as knowing it by heart because he kept looking surprised like, “oh yeah – we do the baby cradling thing now! I totally got this one!” Brian was originally going to be out of town, but some last minute schedule changes had him, and his camera, in the sanctuary, snapping away like the proud papa he is. Meanwhile, Logan, who is following in his daddy’s footsteps, tried to videotape the whole thing on his Nintendo DS. He didn’t have much luck as we ended up literally in the WORST possible place to see the boys…somehow they were positioned directly behind our view of the music teacher as she stood and conducted. I finally went to stand in the back with Memaw so we had a decent view. Brian….was wandering all over the place behind the pews as you can see from…. (drum roll)….

 

PICTURES!

Brady was in the very front, bottom row…right below Aiden (convenient for pics!)

They told all the kids to wave to mom and dad before the singing began. Brady SUPER ENTHUSIASTICALLY waved….at someone on the opposite side of the sanctuary from where we were (I was standing up trying to get him to see me, but he didn’t)

Something about a manger…

Sleeping baby Brad, do the sleeping baby one! ;)

“Ok…what’s next…”

“Um..no…I’m totally confused at this point”

“Wait! I got it now! We’re counting on our fingers!”

Yes, big brother knows…there are TEN angels in the band (I heard this one a lot at home…possibly the only song either of them could remember outside the walls of school")

Ah…young love!

Brady was too focused on the cookies and hot chocolate room where everyone ELSE got to go after the concert – see him pointing at his preferred destination?! But, the paparazzi would NOT be stopped!

That’s better – stars of the show! Now go get your cookies!
