Stage Fright

Fulton had a big day on Sunday. So we got up early from the lake and headed to church because the little cutie below had his very first preschool choir performance. 

 

He has choir practice on Wednesday nights and they have been practicing their songs for months. We have even listened to the cd in the car since October. I couldn't wait to hear him belt out those precious songs he had worked so hard on. 

 

And then he started to wig out a little. We got in the sanctuary early like we were supposed to and he sat like a statue watching the older kids practice. This was after he dramatically threw himself onto the stairs saying--he couldn't sing, he just couldn't do it. We kept giving him pep talks and pumping him up and then it was time for us to leave. 

We headed down to our small group for a bit and then came back in time to see him in the first service. Looks like he mustered up the courage because here he goes walking proudly onto the stage. 

Look at our handsome little guy up there. I am so proud of him. 

The whole fam came in time to see him sing in the second service and this pretty much sums up his performance. Yep, he didn't sing a word. Not one single word... the entire time. That little stinker. 

But he sure was proud when he saw us. Sweet boy was just a waving to us. 

And then this occurred. He really put his fingers in his ears for a good bit of this one song. We asked him afterwards why he did that and he said the kids behind him were singing too loud. Memories. 

We came home and rested up and finally unloaded the car. Later that night we met up with everyone and enjoyed the lights at Zoolight Safari. 

 

Do you and your family have personalized Santa hats?! Festive huh? We were given these as gifts by Fulton's sweet preschool teacher. We put these on last night and set out to see some good Christmas lights. 

Today has been a rainy yucky day, but it is a very special day. It's Dad's birthday!! We surprised him at work this morning with some good gluten free treats and his favorite, Diet Mt. Dew. We hope you have had the best birthday ever Dad!! We love you!! We are meeting up for dinner later to continue the celebration. I split from the boys and had lunch with my bestie Ryan Lee. Good time to catch up without chasing little ones.
