The Chubby Little Snowman

I present the 1st and 2nd Snowmen of the First Lutheran Church Preschool Winter Pageant.

Lily and Elsa



The girls were beyond excited for their first theatrical performance. The girls put on shows at home all the time. So, imagine their joy at having a real audience and being up on an actual stage. Each class did a little song and the whole preschool presented a Bible Verse on the fruits of the spirit. As a consequence, the girls and I will have forever memorized this silly little song about the fruits of the spirit "Oh an Apple ain't a fruit of the spirit. If you want to be an apple, you might as well hear it....you can't be a fruit of the spirit because the fruits are: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control." (repeat to infinity using the entire fruit bowl). Apparently, this is something that Lutherans memorize? I don't remember it from Catholic school.

I thought it was nuts on stage helping my little 2 year old class do their "Dance Little Snowflake" song. But, Mark informs me the real action was in the audience where the parents were pushing and shoving each other in order to photograph. It was apparently pandemonium. We have a 20 minute video of the entire show. (but it is mostly of the backside of the lady who kept jumping in the aisle in order to crowd everybody out). But, we did manage to get the girls doing their final practice just before the show:



When it came to actual show time, the girls got a little bit quiet and less theatrical. But, it was still great fun for all.
