Jackson's Christmas Program & Party

The Thursday before Christmas, Jackson's school preformed a little Christmas program and had a party.  It was pretty cute - both the morning and afternoon classes combined to have one mega show - 24 kids total.  Although Jackson's tummy started to feel a bit yucky in the middle of the show, he persevered, singing and playing his heart out.  Morgan even got to join in on the fun during the "reindeer games" in the gym.  Jackson's upset belly ended up being nothing and he was fine the rest of the day... go figure and thank goodness (I had visions of puking).  Unfortunately my seat wasn't the best during the program and it is bad lighting in a gym, so most of my videos and pictures are less than good, but at least I was able to document his first Christmas program!  And if you were wondering, I had picked out a cute Christmas-type outfit for him, but he refused that day and wanted only his "Trouble Man" shirt and comfy pants.  Pick and choose your battles!  Then to top it off, he kept lifting up his shirt before the program.... not sure what that was all about, but I'm sure some parents were forming opinions on the kid with the "Trouble Man" shirt!

The events of the day...

Morgan complaining... She was done with the games and wanted the yummy
snacks everyone brought.

One of his many projects for Christmas.  It looked great on the tree!

And it is a bit long, but thought some may enjoy seeing a few video clips (probably the grandparents mostly!)...
