Belated Christmas concert photos

Yes, I'm absurdly behind on posting to the blog. Sorry!

Lily was excited and had fun in her first Christmas concert at school. Lily was very distracted during the concert by teachers running things on the side, as well as the necessary props around like cords an CD players. She was so cute up there in her red and black dress!










Before the concert the kids were literally climbing the walls out in the hall!










Camille also had a great time singing in her Christmas concert with her choir at church. Lily was excited to sit in the audience. When the first song for Camille's choir class started Lily, called out "Hey, I know that. It's Camille's song!" (We had listened to the songs often in the car to help Camille learn them.) Lily sang all the words to Camille's songs loudly during the performance, entertaining the people around us. Camille was put in charge of her friend in the choir (a boy who also has autism) by his mother. She just asked Camille to remind the boy to behave. The boy really likes Camille, always wanting to stand next to Camille, but Camille took the job to heart and a bit overboard. What can you expect from a 6 year-old who likes to be in charge! Later in the Christmas program (which was in mid December) the narrator said "It's Christmas!" and then with laughter in her voice like she had just been told a joke, Lily called out loudly "No it isn't!" She took it literally, knowing that day wasn't Christmas day. For some unknown reason later on during applause Lily put up her bear claw and called out "Hey, Sic 'em Bears!"






Here are pictures from Matt and Camille's YMCA Princess float. They decorated the fishing boat and really had to bundle up because the temperature was in the 20s that day!!
