A Penguin's Holiday

December was a month of many activities. One of many activities was Colin's second grade play, "A Penguin's Holiday". We learned from experience last year when Colin had a first grade play and we stood in the back of the cafeteria, unable to see him even ONCE. So, this year we arrived at the play 45 minutes early. It still wasn't early enough. We sat about 10 rows back and still the pictures I got of him are not very good. I felt sooo bad for all the inexperienced moms and dads who came 15 minutes before the play only to find they were crammed in like sardines unable to see above the heads in front of them. Since we were in for a long wait we kept ourselves busy by handing the camera over to Connor. Here is a sampling of his photo shoot.

Here I am lookin' mighty fine...well, not exactly fine...more like exhausted, haggard, skanky. It was December, what can I say. (What's my excuse this month?)

Here's Todd, posing so handsomely. A face only a mother could love. Boy, what a great looking couple. HAHAHA!!!

Now, here's a fine lookin' group. Kess, Rhiannon, and Helen. At least they had each other to help the minutes tick by faster. (Notice the people in the background. Those are their seats, back against the wall! YUK! Can't these schools afford a few more chairs? Or how 'bout we just forego the Christmas program altogether?)

Awww, and finally it was time for the show to begin. The program was actually really cute. The kids and teachers did a great job. Colin played one of Santa's reindeer. He was Vixen. He delivered his part beautifully. We were so proud of him! He had entertained us for weeks before the show singing his songs, and doing a little dance. He's quite the performer!
