GVES Christmas Program

It's no lie,

I LOVE the Christmas season!

It's one of my most favorite times of the year.

We celebrate the birth of our

Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We get to decorate our homes

all nice and pretty.

Baking.

Baking.

And more baking.

When we are young,

we learn that just because we give a gift,

doesn't always mean we are going to get one in return.

Hence,

it's better to give,

than to receive.

And,

we get to listen to and sing

some of the most

beautiful,

uplifting,

poignant musical numbers.

Gunnison Valley Elementary School

put on their annual Christmas Program

on Monday, December 3, 2012.

This is my first year

as a parent

that I got to go and listen to my sweet child

sing his little heart out.

It was my first year

to have bragging rights

on how cute my child was in the program.

It was my first year

to sit back and watch my sweet little boy

rub the back of the little girl sitting next to him

all because "she was scared and crying."

It was my first year

to giggle at my 5 year old

because of the silly faces he was pulling.

And,

it was my first year

to just laugh at my little kindergartner 

up in the stands picking his nose!

Oh YES!

He was up there,

proudly picking away.

I LOVE YOU AS BIG AS THE SKY,

my sweet, tender-hearted Hunter!!!

Thank you for making this Mommy PROUD!!!!

 I LOVE this little boy...and his beautiful curls...and face-pulling, and nose-picking, and back-rubbing...he is TRULY a tender heart!

 I was totally amazed at how good he was.  It was late in the evening, so his meds had COMPLETELY wore off, and he was sitting there, behaving.  When he saw us, he didn't attempt to run to us.  (Daddy has a REALLY DIFFICULT TIME focusing my camera.  (:  )

 All the kids in GVES (minus those who are sick)

All of the kindergartners and 2 rows of first graders.  The kindergartners sang, Jingle Bells and Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.
