Andrew as "The Sheep" in Christmas Preschool Play

Andrew's preschool had a Christmas performance of the night Jesus was born. I was so excited to see Andrew in his first school play that I made sure I had the video camera all charged up and ready to go. My mom, sister and father-in-law also came to support Andrew and cheer him on.

It was a very short and sweet performance where there were two 4 year olds playing Mary and Joseph walking in with baby Jesus as someone narrated the Christmas story. Andrew's class came walking behind Mary and Joseph as Andrew and his class were all dressed as sheep, and another class walked behind them dressed as angels. Once they all got up to the stage the children patiently waited until the short skit was over and then they all sang a few Christmas songs for the audience. Of course all of the parents, including myself were trying to get as close to the stage as possible to get the best picture or video as possible. I only got a few minutes of the performance since the battery of our older camcorder died on me even though I charged it for a whole evening. I was so upset. I am a fanatic when it comes to picture taking. I love taking pictures, especially capturing all the memories of our son, Andrew. I think it's time to upgrade our video camera.....

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with how all of the children (18months - 4years old) were doing exactly what they were supposed to do......walking in (not running in different directions)...standing still, patiently waiting for their que to sing and then how they all sang so nicely......Simple Sweet and Adorable.
