Leave it up to me to remember to bring the video camera to Lily's preschool Christmas program and then forget how to use it. I had everything set and I even reserved the perfect spot where Lily would be on the stage. I had Sophie at a friend's house so that I could pay all of my attention to Lily on her special day. I pull the video camera out of the case and start recording and after about 20 seconds, it starts beeping at me and stops recording. It didn't shut off and the tape in it was brand new, so there was no excuse for it to malfunction...
It wasn't until I got home that I realized that it was switched onto recording on the SD card and not the tape. And yes, the SD card was full. This was probably something I should have checked at the school, but no! I didn't even think about it! Well, at least I got a couple of pictures.
Lily was very excited about the candy cane and she felt the need to have it with her in the picture. The program went very well and the kids got to sing all of the Christmas songs they learned in music class. They even sang Feliz Navidad in Spanish and Silent Night in sign language. Yes, they sang Silent Night in sign language. I hope I'm not the only one that finds a little humor in that!
Santa made an appearance, but of course, Lily said that he didn't quite look or sound like the one that visited last week at our friend's house. But she still enjoyed seeing him!
Well, I don't know but I'm a little burnt out on the Christmas festivities and Christmas hasn't even arrived yet. I'm looking forward to the Christmas break and not having to go anywhere in the cold. But I'm guessing that the cabin fever will set in after a day before I start acting like Jack Torrance from The Shining. Except I won't be armed with an ax or anything like that. My only downfall is the tin full of chocolates destined to be eaten...
