The Ultimate School Christmas Program...

The first grade had the cutest little Christmas program about how Christmas is about love. Each class had to dress like something different. There were elves, angels, candles, and Emma's class had to be toys. In the note that came home it said they could dress in football uniforms, dance outfits, anything. WELL....we just happen to have the craziest little unicorn costume and Emma thought that would be the perfect thing. I think she likes being the center of attention and she knew this costume was sure to get her attention. Matt and I were cracking up that she really had the guts to do it and so in the days leading up to it we continued to urge her and tell her not to get embarrassed and back down. Emma did not disappoint...it was HILARIOUS! She stuck out BIG TIME! I was so proud of her for having the confidence to get up there. She was dying of heat, but it was worth it :) It was like the movies where the kid is forced to go to their school program and wear this huge furry costume, but this time it was her choice :) What a memorable night!
