December 17, 2010: The Annual Christmas Sing at Westmore Elementary

Only two more years at Westmore, which means two more Christmas "sings." The fifth grade performed two numbers: Mele Kalikimaka and The Elf's Lament (a rap). I accompanied both, so had to have someone else take pictures of Griffin. He loved getting to wear a hat and sunglasses for the day--and really, it was quite the laid-back school day. They watched two movies, practiced the songs, exchanged gifts, and generally, accomplished nothing. But it was the easiest class party I've ever had to throw. All I had to do was provide a monster bag of popcorn for the movies (provided by the Scera), so I was very grateful!

Westmore's Holiday Sing

First of all, they now longer call it a "Christmas Sing." Are you kidding me? In a school where the kids always want to sing Primary songs, I find that surprising. Anyway, here are videos of Griffin and Ellie's performances.

That afternoon I helped with Griffin's class party where they made cards for a local care center and then played Christmas carols on the bells.


Now the kids are home until January 5. Yippee?
