2014 UMPEA Holiday Program

So we get an email from Lily's class parent representative asking for a very random list of items for the Holiday Program. This list included a nutria costume, a Mr. Bingle costume, a robe/slippers...in addition to an assortment of other items. My interest was peaked! Since I'm not sure a nutria costume exists and I have no clue who Mr. Bingle is...we volunteered the robe/slippers and Lily was set to play a "little ol lady" in their "Night Before Christmas in the land of Who Dat!" 

To our surprise, she was also doing the welcome! Yay!

Just in case you don't speak whispered gibberish, they said, "Welcome to our Christmas Program! Sit back, relax, and pass a good time!"

When we get to her class presentation, I could hardly contain my excitement! Her teacher worked SO hard and it was adorable! The video was around 10 minutes long so we cut it down to her part:

I mean...of course she gets on stage and picks her nose! 

This was the finale with all the kiddos on stage...you'll see a Santa with a Popeye's fried chicken leg, a sleigh pulled by brown pelicans, a little boy with visions of beignets, an adorable "mutt", a po-boy, Mr. Bingle, a pot of gumbo, and a hurricane...along with the old lady! ;)

Once the program was over, she ran straight to Daddy and was just SO proud of herself! 

Love that girl!!!
