Holiday Programs

When it comes to Holiday Programs Owen and Cole each have a very different approach.  

On one hand you have Owen who knows every song and diligently performs his part with a focus normally reserved for  his Angry Birds game.  He often finds himself front and center with the less squirmy kids.  When he falls behind or gets ahead of the group he adjusts and gets back in line.  A teachers dream for those 15 minutes.

And then there is Cole.  Luckily due to weather, Cole only had one program to entertain us with. He made up for it at the Sunday School program however.  After perfectly completing an hour long practices right before the program, Cole ran out of gas heading into the main event.  After marching to the front of church with the entire Sunday School, Cole immediately decided to show off his cool dance moves in front of everyone.  It was quite impressive and he picked up some style moves when he tried to incorporate the mike stand in his routine.  Luckily one of the older kids caught it before it fell.  We were hoping no one knew he was our child, but when he came running up to us half through the program there wasn't much denying he belonged to us.  

Front and Center, with bells on (literally)

I wonder what is over here?

Minute two of Sunday School Program.  500 people watching.  Cole breaks out  "The Windmill".

Is this in his future?
