Jules' Christmas Program

We had high hopes for Julianna's Christmas program. As you can see from the videos below, she did too. Well no one was planning on her being sick the day before and sick the day of her performance. But she wanted so badly to go, so we dressed her up and headed out. She was in great spirits the whole way there and while she met with her class. We were all SO excited to see her showoff her songs and poems that she had been working on FOR WEEKS!

Well we weren't counting on Jules being the first kid out on stage, the rest of the kids taking f.o.r.e.v.e.r to get out on stage and for there to be over 500 people there. I went down from to get pictures and show her that we were right there watching her.

Um, she made it through about 10 seconds of the first song....and cried the rest of the performance. I was totally heart broken, but she could have cared less. By the time they were done and we were back in our seats, she was laughing it up and having a great time with her new bestie Delainey. Drew and I took it harder than she did! She hasn't given it a 2nd thought!

All dressed up and ready to go!

Met Grandpa Stinson in the lobby. In her classroom

Jules and Delainey. Wish you could have seen their faces when they saw each other!!

Not so sure, but willing to try.....

....this one smile was about all we got before.....

.....this began.

This was about 2 seconds before she walked off the stage. :(

And here we are 5 minutes later. Happy as a clam in the arms of Grandma and Grandpa!

Grandma and Grandpa Bush were still proud of her and gave her some lovin'!

Could they all be any cuter!?!

Jules loved that Mary was able to come!
