It's a little silly, but necessary

We learned at Halloween that Manila Elementary spends their time learning . . . and not learning how to perform for their parents during "programs" :) The Halloween march was hilarious, but I expected a little more for Christmas.

Welp, guess again. It was comical at best. They did sing one song. Bryndee, however, was covered by the girl you see standing RIGHT in front of her. We've always thought that Bryndee was super tall, but Noel (if that's how you spell it) is WAY more vertically blessed :)

We still think Bryndee is the cutest. OH, but it happened to be what Manila calls "common start day" which means us get-up-by-8:30-am-to-have-our-children-at-school-by-9:15 kind of parents must somehow wake up at the crack of dawn and have our kids there by an unearthly EIGHT AM!!! Well, my little alarm clock named Bailey didn't wake up until it was passed time to leave. I opened my eyes to see the clock blaring 7:51 at me. Hence, the reason Bryndee looks so not awake, but she was only 5 minutes late. Good times, good times.
