Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

Last night was Abriella's first big performance. She had all her parts memorized and was ready for her big night. Her school they had Santa coming to visit and a song/performance by each class. Last year they did jingle bells (Abriella just chewed on her jingle bell the whole time) and this year was Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.

I didn't know that they were doing this song for school and had been singing the song to Abriella a week or so ago and was completely shocked to hear her say "Like a Lightbulb" and "Whoopee". I thought my child was a genius until Eric informed me that they had been practicing the song for weeks :)

Before the big performance Abriella was dancing around all excited and all the kids were "practicing" they're parts (and doing quite well) and then it was showtime...


(before watching turn off the music at the top.. sorry the player is so small, the other one stopped working but you should be able to press the bottom middle of it... and also turn down your sound a bit, it is quite loud~ password is Abriella) ENJOY!

here are a few pictures of the big night too...

The grumpiest Rudolph ever...


saying hi to a friend (she knows all of the names of the kids in her class)


getting ready to start...


A wonderful visit with Santa. She was so excited because she gave him a high-five in the hallway. Now she walks around saying, "Clause high-five, yeah". It's too bad, that she's wearing this outfit, her belly sticking out, and paying much more interest in the candy then to her me taking her picture. At least she didn't scream in fear like most of the other kids!



And the biggest news of the night... she did the whole outing in big girl undies with no accidents :) whoo hoo!!
