Christmas Holiday Bits n Pieces
part three
Grace also sang a song at the end of it that we recorded bits of - only bits because... well, you'll see when I finally get it cleaned up enough to post!
By the end, things were rather....
chaos or a finale dance?
We are really proud of what our girls accomplished in their short time in this school so far. They have grown a lot!
And for the gift exchange, what did they want and receive? Of course, two more additions to the Hu menagerie!
part three
This last week has been rather a muddle for us. A full week at work with most of the directorate team in town. A full week at school for Christmas production practices. Well, we made it as far as Wednesday. Wednesday night Jasmin came crying into our bed with a burning fever and headache. This tends to happen with her when "everything is too much" for her. So she spent a quite day at home Thursday (except for a family lunch invitation) and most of Friday so she could still take part in the production Fri afternoon/evening. She did manage that okay, but now she is again curled up in bed with fever.
Friday was a busy day for Mommy and Daddy as they had the office party 11-3:30 and then the school production 4-6!
The school's productions tend to be rather chaotic as everything is done in one small meeting room with no real stage... so there are extra kids wandering across the stage at random intervals, kids testing mics and greeting parents... and when the kids preform, a wall of parents with cameras crowds in until it is impossible to see anything unless you join them. I find it remarkable that the kids keep their poise and sing, dance, speak as rehearsed!
Despite all this, we did manage to get a few pictures...
The production was a self-written "musical" that attempted to string together famous Christmas song and stories. Perhaps if we were able to hear what was said by the characters, we'd have a better idea of how Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (Jasmin's class dance)
and the little match girl (Grace's part in the play) fit together...
