Glee

Today was the Kindergarten Holiday Music program at William's school. Can you really go wrong when you put a bunch of 5 and 6 year old kids in front of their family and friends and have them sing? Of course not. It was pretty cute. They sang the exact same songs that Henry and his contemporaries sang a few years ago, but it never gets old. There were some old favorites, like "Jingle Bells" and some songs that I am not familiar with, like "Must Be Santa" and "Cactus Christmas Tree", although Jay remembers singing "Must Be Santa" when he was in kindergarten, so it is apparently pretty big in Utah.

After the program we went back to his classroom and he brought home quite a few holiday crafts, including the candy house that he made last week. It's a milk carton covered in thick, pasty frosting with candy decorations but William is quite proud of it (and rightfully so). He worked hard on it and had the icing all over his clothes to prove it. It now resides on the kitchen table with the gingerbread house that we decorated Monday night.


Here is a picture of William with his masterpiece:



The Christmas tree hat really completes the picture, don't you think?
