A Christmas Pageant

As many of you know, Westin goes to preschool at a lovely Catholic school called St. Agnes. Wednesday night was the St. Agnes Christmas Program*, which always starts with the preschoolers singing various Christmas songs. Was Westin nervous in front of a crowd? Nope. Not for a second. The kid is a natural. I saw the kids march onto stage through an open side stage door, when Westin walked by and saw all of the people, he didn't get nervous, instead he had a big grin and gave the crowd a thumbs up. On stage**, he was dancing and singing his little heart out. Fun was had by all.

His favorite song is Christmas Bells (apparently sung to the tune of 'Jingle Bells').

*Um yeah, so Dalen and I didn't realize that Westin had a Christmas program until the reminder email Wednesday morning, and truly didn't know what to do about it until 3:00 pm that very same day, following a confirmation/explanation e-mail from Westin's teacher. Because, we're responsible parents like that.

** Westin is the little boy on the left side of the third row (second row of risers)...not standing still, but dancing to the music. He is in front of a little girl in a red dress and to the right of a little girl in a green dress. I know that the quality of the movie would not make it in and HD IMAX theater, but we didn't have time to charge the video camera and had to wing it with my iPhone.....

Happy birthday Westin!

Our little guy turned four today. We had dinosaur cake, opened lots of presents and went on an adventure to the natural history museum. Thank you to everyone who helped make Westin's 4th birthday so special. We love you so very much, Westin!
