Christmas Programs

I'm combining our Christmas program pictures for ease. Austin had his school program on a night of a blizzard waring - it was crazy. We left right after he was done signing, so got home before it got too nasty.

Austin is in the red/white striped shirt. Most of the vocal group.

Nathanial and Ethan are convinced Daddy just left with Noah and isn't coming back for them...even though they're dressed and I'm still inside. Nathanial's hanging on to his offering money pretty tight, though!

Austin in the back with the chef hat (he was "Alfred" Brown)...Aidan in the front in the red sweater.

Aidan's Program

[Note: You can turn off the volume on the song if you scroll all the way to the bottom, then push pause.]

Aidan finally had his "Christmas" program this morning. I was afraid school would be delayed again today, but alas, it wasn't, so the program happened. Aidan was so cute! None of my pictures turned out worth a hoot (holding a squirming, upset little person doesn't make for very good pictures), but a couple of videos turned out semi-watchable. Nathanial and Ethan were very proud of their big brother and clapped and clapped after every song.

The triplets had quite a shock. They haven't been in their stroller in a couple of months and boy were they upset by it! They hated it! Oh, no! I was planning on using that for the next, say, ten years. Guess I'll have to come up with another plan. They did not like being corralled, tied down, nothing. Thankfully, a fellow multiple mom helped me out and held one of them while I worked on the other two. Nathanial tried standing up in his stroller and getting out, when I put him back down and tried to make him "happy" by not strapping him in. Never again.

Here's a couple videos of Aidan. He did an awesome job and was sooo cute. He's the little guy in the middle of the row on the floor with the red sweater on (if you can see him!).

Thankfully, school was delayed today due to fog, so Austin was able to sleep in. He panicked when he woke up at 9:00 and saw the time. I guess he doesn't trust that I would wake him up, if he overslept, to be in time for the bus. I was just glad he was able to get a few extra hours of sleep.

Aidan was supposed to have his preschool Christmas program this morning, but it was canceled because of the late start. His teacher did say she is going to try to reschedule it for January and I hope she does. He was so excited and I was so excited to see him, so we were both disappointed.
