Singing to the Heavens

This past Saturday, our kid's daycare put on their annual Christmas Program. I was even more excited this year since Mason was so big and had been practicing his songs all month long!

My handsome boys.

My lovable teddy bear.

(the teachers painted the kid's noses to make them look like teddy bears.)

M & M's fan section!

Mason was so cute waiting in line back stage.

First up was Morgan's class. The Pre-K class was behind them singing "Christmas Time" by the Chipmunks, while the Toddlers sat in the front and just looked cute.

Morgan was a little antsy, so she was up and down. I think she just wasn't sure what was going on.

Either way, she was just precious as can be up there!

Then she went to sit with Daddy and Nana until it was Mason's turn, and then Daddy and I were up in the front videoing and taking pics.

When Mason first stepped on stage, he just stared out into the crowd. We weren't sure if he saw us if he would just want to get off stage and come be with us.  So we were a little nervous to let him see us.

But once he saw us, he got SO excited!

He started waving and smiling so big! He was saying "There's my family!"... It melted my heart!!

Hayden (to the right of Mason) hollered out "Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!" I don't think it was part of the play, but it was really cute!

The first song was Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

Mason nailed the actions that went with the words! There weren't too many kids that actually did them, but Mase was on top of it!

You better watch out,

You better not cry.

Better not pout

I'm telling you why,

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He's making a list,

And checking it twice,

Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you're sleeping.

He knows when you're awake.

He knows if you've been bad or good,

So be good for goodness sake!

O! You better watch out!

You better not cry.

Better not pout

I'm telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming,

Santa Claus is coming,

Santa Claus is coming to towwwwn....

To towwwwn....

To towwwn!!

All week long, Mason would make sure that he reminded us that he was suppose to say "Santa Claus is coming" and  "to town" 3 times at the end. He was so cute how he would swing his arms up and raise them each time he would sing it.

In between songs, Mason and Hayden were so funny! They turned to each other and would talk. You could hear them giggling and talking about the songs. It was too cute!

Then Mason hollered out "There's my family!" a couple times again. It was so sweet!

Next song was Go, Tell it on the Mountain.

Go tell it on the mountain,

Over the hills and everywhere.

Go tell it on the mountain,

Our Jesus Christ is born.

When I was a seeker

I sought both night and day,

I asked the Lord to help me,

And he showed me the way.

Go tell it on the mountain,

Over the hills and everywhere,

Go tell it on the mountain,

Our Jesus Christ is born.

He made me a watchman

Upon a city wall,

And if I am a Christian,

I am the least of all.

Go tell it on the mountain,

Over the hills and everywhere,

Go tell it on the mountain,

Our Jesus Christ is born.

During the "everywhere" part each time, he would drag his hands out really slowly. It was hilarious! Again, he was one of the few kids that actually did all the hand motions. I had the biggest grin the entire time!

 

After the two songs, we ran backstage with him and gave him lots of proud hugs and kisses!

He ate it up, too! He was so proud of himself. It was so sweet.

His class went back on stage for the finale of Feliz Navidad.

Again, he started waving at all of us once he got onto the stage.

Feliz Navidad

Feliz Navidad

Feliz Navidad

Prospero año y felicidad.

Feliz Navidad

Feliz Navidad

Feliz Navidad

Prospero año y felicidad.

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas

From the bottom of my heart.

Afterwards, he gave us this BIG grin. You can just tell that he had a blast up there!

We were so, extremely proud of how well Mason did on stage! I was glowing with how excited I was! And Morgan was a perfect, little sweetie as always! I look forward to next year when she'll be able to sing the songs, too!

It is such a sweet blessing to us to get to see and hear our babies praise Jesus. We are so thankful that St. Joe's teaches the importance of faith. It's wonderful.
