Ryder's first ever Christmas Program! (And some very ugly sweaters...)

This last Thursday, Ryder had his first ever Christmas program at preschool.  He and his class have been practicing their songs since October and her was SO excited to sing them for everyone.  
 His Mia and Papa came to see and then took them for a sleep over in Redlands afterwards:
 Trying to get a family shot is so painful sometimes!
 Eden had a FULL fit when we told her she couldn't go on stage to sing.  We were a complete circus act keeping that little girl from going on stage to be with her brother.
Oh my little guy!
I got a wave!
 When the song "Little Drummer Boy" comes on the radio, he gets so excited, and after seeing his production, now I understand why:  they were given drums to pound while they sang!
His sweet teacher was so cute to tell us about how enthusiastic he was during rehearsals and how into it he was!  I was just so proud of our little guy!

Directly from there we went to our church's leadership Christmas party where the theme was ugly sweater:
Didn't Walmart make Jeff and I look so good!
 Then Kit went  with his team to Denny's:
(It was a first for our friend Ash...)
It was a long day, but really fun...♥
