"The Christmas Gift"

Rainey had his first Christmas program at preschool Tuesday night called "The Christmas Gift". His class, the Seahorses, rang bells as Jingle Bells played in the background. They have been practicing for weeks and all of them did such a great job. Rainey really, really liked it. He did not want to get off stage.

When I picked him up from school on Wednesday, the music teacher told me they practiced with another instrument (I forgot the name) and Rainey was the only one in the class that could play it. He definitely didn't get his musical abilities from my side of the family. You know, his father did play in a band once.

These aren't the best pictures but it will give you an idea of the show. We also videotaped the performance so I'll try to post the clip later. Rainey is the second boy from the left. His teacher, Ms. Nita, is standing behind him.

Rainey is right below the basket...holding his bells.

Yes, that's my son facing backwards looking at the blue screen :)

On his way to the stage...Rainey is on the right.
