Reprising her role....

If you read two posts down, you read about Kendra's story in which she got the role of Mary in the 2nd grade program.  Her friend, D, was Joseph.  Here they are in their 2nd grade cuteness:

This year, the 2nd grade teachers did not want to go to the trouble of doing a time honored school tradition (ahem, excuse my irritation).  But that didn't stop our AMAZING music teacher, Wendy Price.  The 2nd graders learned the songs, but Wendy recruited 4th and 5th graders to play the parts for the program.  The kids were thrilled, as they had participated in their 2nd grade years and loved it.  So, the Performers Club was formed, and guess who got to reprise her role as Mary?

And yep, you guessed it.  That is D reprising HIS role as Joseph, too!   Cuteness beyond words.   I love seeing the difference in the pictures!  **Side note:  these two have had little crushes on each other for years.  Of course, Kendra would deny that.... :-)  He is a really great kid from a really great family--at least I know she has good taste! 

They did a different song this year called "In The Window" which was a Hanukkah song.  I really wish I had recorded video on it...it was lovely.  Kendra got to be in that song, too, and since her Mary costume went with the Hebrew/Israeli look she didn't even need a costume change.  Here are a few pics of her doing some of the choreography.

It was particularly fun for me to watch not only my own kiddo, but many of the Performers were either current or past students of mine.  What a wonderful way to celebrate the season!  Only in Texas can you have a school program in which the nativity story is shared!
