Nevaeh's Thanksgiving Program

Tonight Nevaeh had her Kindergarten Thanksgiving program. The night started off a bit shaky because Nevaeh fell asleep after school. When we woke her up to get ready to go she had decided that she was NOT going to be in the program and she did NOT want to be on stage. After a LOT of tears and some yelling and screaming on her part, I got her settled down enough to at least get in the car to go to the school. I knew that if I at least got her there to see how excited all the other kids were to do the program that she would finally be ok. Well, that didn't really work either. She just decided that she didn't want to do the program, she just wanted to watch all her friends from out in the audience. So, in our last effort to get her to do it, her teacher, Mrs. Welling bribed her with the "special" treasure box. Worked like a charm! As soon as she had chosen her prize she was all smiles and ready to go. I may need to invest in one of those to use at home!!!

The program was so cute. She was a pilgrim woman in the program. There were also pilgrim men, Indian women, Indian men, turkeys, and preachers. They had a few narrators telling a story and every time they would say "pilgrim women," all the pilgrim women would say, "Oh, mercy me!" Pilgrim men would say, "A hunting we will go!" Indian men said, "Big and brave!" Indian women would say, "Shhh! Baby's sleeping!" Turkeys of course said, "Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!" And the Preachers would yell out, "Praise the Lord!" It was very cute! They sang a bunch of songs and said a Thanksgiving poem at the end.

One of Nevaeh's parts in the program was to welcome everyone to the program. You can't hear her but here she is.

They are saying, "Get your cameras ready! Because we're sure cute!"

She is by no means the tallest kid in the Kindergarten... In fact, I think she is pretty much the shortest! But for some reason she got put in the back row. Here are a few pictures of her.

Ok, so the kid next to Nevaeh on the right is a Preacher if you didn't guess. He was so funny!!! This picture pretty much shows what this kid looked like the whole time!

The whole Kindergarten.


Here are a few videos of the songs that they sang.

Blowing a Kiss Goodbye!

ALL DONE! SHE DID A GREAT JOB!
