First Grade Parade

A had her First Grade parade and performance today, and did a wonderful job! They had the opportunity to make floats if they wanted, and A used our kid-friendly stuffed nativity, and put it in a small wagon to drag around on their parade. I had taken E and C with me early to help drop off A's 'float', and get her ready (she wanted to dress as Mary ;-) Interestingly enough, when D did his 1st grade parade, he was a 'shepherd' - so both had stuck with spiritual themes,.. which was NOT the norm! Lots of elves, santas, presents, etc. with only a few angels and one other mary to try to balance things out. D got to come in and watch also, as his teacher has a son in A's class. I kept E and C entertained with snacks, and they did a great job behaving (after i put C in a time-out against the gym wall.)

They sang 4 different songs,... the most impressive was Silent Night, done completely in sign language!
