Holiday program!

This is the first year the boys will get to participate in their school's holiday program and Jon and I are SO EXCITED! This afternoon can not get here fast enough. They will be wearing Christmas shirts made by Marta at Haus of Girls (check out her etsy shop):

For those who can not attend, here is a preview of one of the songs they will sing. It has been a long time since I've done a kitchen table video! This video sums up their personalities - Nate focused on the words and Alex focused on the gestures. This is also my mini shout out to Hanukkah, which the boys have enjoyed learning about and understanding who celebrates what holiday and why.


One more week until Christmas and I could not be more excited. I say this every year with kids but I think this will be the best Christmas ever. It just gets sweeter and sweeter.

I know that twins come with many challenges...but wow, is the payoff worth it. That video is AWESOME!

One of the cutest videos ever! I'm sure the program will be so much fun for the parents and the kids. Yay Christmas! (And Hanukkah!)

Cute singing! JTC is somewhere between Nate and Alex in his verbal skills. Still, for the Christmas program, he stood motionless on the stage just looking at the audience. I'll try to get video up soon.

Those shirts are awesome!(Oh, and I've said this every year, too, but I think this is going to be the best Christmas ever!)

Oh! The video is awesome! I'm VERY impressed that Alex was quiet while Nate performed and vice versa! I can just see Seren being like, "WAIT!! I WANT TO SING!" Cute, cute, voices!! Enjoy!

So very adorable. And thanks for the shout out =) We had a holiday party with a sing along and S totally surprised me and belted out the dreidel song. We couldn't even hear J, who never stops at home.

Jadyn looked at the pictures and watched the video with me. She wanted to see the boys sing while wearing their tie shirts. LOL! She wanted me to make the picture into a video.

Anyway, the pics are so cute and the video is even cuter - so right about the differences between the focus on the words versus gestures. Quite interesting.

I too am very excited about Christmas as the kids can understand more of the traditions we have and are creating. Enjoy!
