Elaina's school Christmas events

Elaina had her school Christmas performance a couple of weeks ago (coupled with Grandparents Day)...  It was super cute.  I wasn't sure how she would do because when I picked her up from school the day of the performance she cried because she didn't want anyone to come and see her... not me, not daddy, not granny, not anyone.  Well, about 5 minutes into her cry/whine fit in the car, she fell asleep (something she is still doing after school and frankly, I let her because she needs it - BAD).  After her nap, she was good to go and was excited to go sing her tunes.

The show was super cute and only about 20 minutes long (bonus).... perfect amount of time - even my mom agreed.  They streamed it live so my dad got to watch from Chattanooga.  Welcome to 2012 everyone...grandparents don't have to miss a thing thanks to the wide world of the web and technology.  Awesome.  So, now onto pics.

That is her.. very back row, just to the left of the microphone and the very tall boy - who is a Kindergartener, BTW.  He's a tall kid for sure!

Again..to the left of the giant blond kid ;)





 
And some video footage....warning, it's long BUT I did edit it - I finally did the homework on how to edit video and turns out it wasn't too difficult.  All this time I've wasted.  I was able to cut out some of it rather than sticking you with all the footage/bad camera work, etc....  Anyway...moving on.  If you can/choose to watch it to the end, watch Elaina at the end - she throws up the wrong hand and it makes me laugh how she corrects it real quick.
 

Also, this past Thursday was there Christmas party at her school...  It was fun - crafts, food, and mingling with kids and parents.  Not a whole lot of pictures other then these...

Getting ready to decorate cookies...the bell around her neck was made as well


This is Elaina's teacher, Mrs. Borden.  She is a WONDERFUL teacher.  We all 3 love her and are blessed to have her as Elaina's teacher.  We had a week of lots of gratitude for her this week in light of the recent events in Connecticut.  She was really a great support to all the parents and made us feel more comfortable.  You can feel that she really loves her kids.
