Holiday Program at Celebration Kids

Audrey has her first Christmas concert tonight.  Her preschool Celebration Kids rented out the Rialto Theatre in South Pasadena and put on a fun little show. 

Audrey wore her party dress for the occasion. She was running around in circles, twirling, and having fun with the full skirt of the dress

I tried for ten minuites to get a nice picture of Audrey smiling in front of the Christmas tree.  As you can see here it was unsuccessful.  Audrey still does not like to smile and I also noticed later that she had chocolate smeared on her face.  We had to bribe her to get into her dress and cheer her up.

She really is a cute little girl who knows how to get her way.  I packed the M&M's in my diaper bag on the way to the concert just in case. 

Audrey had been practicing her song for the past few weeks.  Her classroom sang Feliz Navidad.  Audrey will be happy to sing for you if she is not feeling pressured.

I was able to snap a few photos of the performance while also juggling Olivia.

Here is a photo of room #1.  They each had a bracelet with jingle bells on and they were each given a santa hat. Audrey and a few of her friends refused to wear the hat. I guess she did not want to to mess up her hair!

Joe was up to the right of the stage with Audrey; to help the teachers and keep a smile on Audrey's face. She did not do well on stage tonight. As you can see here she froze up and started crying.  When Joe put her to bed tonight she told him that she cried instead of singing with her friends.   I hope she gets over her stage fright. Poor thing...

Dad came to the rescue and picked her up on stage to finish the act!  What a life saver!

I did not take any photos of the other acts.  My daughter was the most important of course. The other rooms had some great acts.   Audrey was restless and we skipped out a bit early. 

Overall it was a very fun and exciting evening for everyone in the family.  Olivia looked like she had fun too!
