Alaina's Christmas Program

Last week we got to go to Alaina's Pre-school Christmas program.  These programs with young kids are so fun.  They are always so excited, and proud of what they did.

 Here's Ruby before the program.  She didn't last long.  She likes to move and squeal, so she spent most of the time standing in back with Aaron.

 Here's Alaina, the last in line, walking onto the stage.

 Here's a shot of the whole stage.  It was also where I realized I was going to have a problem.  This was a program involving kids up to 3rd grade, along with a 4th and 5th grade band.  Alaina was behind the band and we couldn't see her at all.  I walked to the back of the sanctuary and used my telescopic lens to try to get a few pictures of her.

 But - my problems continued! Once I found her, I saw that she was standing behind this little boy, and I could only catch peeks of her.

 Like this...

 and this!

 On the other hand, this little girl wasn't going to blend in with the crowd.  She stepped out and was dancing to the music.  It gave us all a laugh!

It was a cute program though. Alaina was proud of herself and we were glad we were able to be there!
