Christmas Performance

Yes, on a Saturday at 9:30, the kids had their school performance. It was about a 30 minute bike ride and since it's Saturday, my legs are jello and want to pedal no more. The teachers did not forget any detail with the costumes and it was great. The whole concept was kids around the world coming to see the birth of baby Jesus. This is definitely one of the perks about private school, we can have school performances that portray the real meaning of Christmas. This would be the only "politically correct" thing done in the show. Holly, you would've loved it.

I haven't quite figured out Italian standard time. It was suppose to start at 9:30, it started at 10:20, after each dance the curtain closed for about 5 minutes while the next "country" set up. And it ended at 13:00!!!

Cloe's class sang a song and did a little dance at the beginning, here she is waiting
and it begins, Brody was an African. Yes, I was told to paint his face black, that hat is suppose to be his afro and he was given the brown shirt and yes, brown tights as his "skin". hilarious!!!

The Asian kids were also funny because they were all wearing flip flops and the boys had drawn on mustaches. But the best is when the Native Americans (is that what we still call them?) were sitting around the fire, passing around a peace pipe!! I was dieing. so classic
Then Cloe came on again and they did an Italian dance

More angels come

Abbey getting restless and I don't blame her.

Baby Gesu' is born. I always thought he was put in a manger but no, it was a car seat.


The shepherds came to see

And then all the kids around the world finally made it. I guess flights were delayed because it sure did take a long time!

And to show how long it took, Brody was crying. Maybe he was so touched by the thought of being there to see the baby Jesus. No, he just saw Jesus with Mary and it made him want his own Mom.

Buon Natale tutti! was the end.
