We Wish you a Merry Christmas

Last night was Preston’s school Holiday Recital.  Every night I’d put him to bed and he would be singing the program.  Miss Kim told me he was so excited during rehearsals, but I kind of thought he may get stage fright.  Preston is the type of kid that needs about ten minutes in a room to assess the situation, if you would and then own the place.  But there was another extenuating circumstance last night too but suffice it to say, he did not stand front and center and was even a little hesitant to give me his present.  He did make it into the classroom with the kids:

But eventually the fun of the cookie decorating table took over!

But tonight, he got his present that I had bought him for after the recital.  He also had a Happy Meal after the recital “with no pickles or white pickles” (which are onions by the way). So here is Preston singing two of his songs from the show:

After we watched the Camenga family’s Elf video (about 15 times) we decided to make another one ourselves too this year.  This year Preston, mommy, Aunt Tinka, Uncle Chris and Uncle Charlie invite you to our Christmas ho-down!

I can’t wait to show them this!

First comment! Whoo-hoo!

We loved the elf yourself video. Pher and I rocked the house. I believe your elf did the chicken dance at some point lol.

And Preston's singing is beyond cute! You have to get him to do the song I taught him! Has he brought it to school yet? I hope so!

Can't wait for Christmas with you guys! Love ya!

Great job singing, Pres! He is an awesome performer! And the elves, what can I say...we love them! I die laughing every time I see one! I was tempted to do the hip-hop elves - pretty hilarious! So glad the Preston earned his Happy Meal...Grace likes to go there for the apples and "creamy mel" sauce!

I absolutely love your son! Caty and I watched the videos and she loved seeing him singing the songs. As many times as I've seen friends being "elfed" I still get a kick out of it each and every time. You've got a great shimmy Kim! :)

Preston was too cute singing his songs!

Nikki was absolutely fascinated! She asked who he was so I told her his name is Preston, and then she looked at me as asked "Is he little like me?" (ever since our LPA Holiday party she's been obsessed with who is, and is not, "little" like her) So I said, yup, he's a dwarf too - and she got the biggest grin and said "Dat cool!" So, thanks for the Preston cuteness, and for putting such a happy smile onto my little girl's face this morning! :o)

There is a lot of action in this shot, but it is artificial. Rob

Glad Preston made it through the program and decided to have some fun! I just love Preston videos, I can't wait to show it to Trace and Taylor when I get home! Trace also eats his Happy Meals with out pickles...but the itty bitty onions seem to be okay with him! Love the EFT'D video too!

OMG Kim, it just does not get any cuter than that. Preston has such a GREAT vocabulary...I can't wait for Bryan to talk. And the elf video...what a treasure! Merry Christmas to you and Preston. Hope Santa is good to you both!

So cute!!! Sonya is the same way, has to assess the situation for about 10 minutes in the room before owning it! Looks like Preston had so much fun! Love the elf video and Preston's singing talent! So adorable! I just read your last post too. Your house is gorgeous and that is one huge tree you have!! Whoo!

Preston certainly knows how to make people smile! Adorable video - great singing, Preston!! I love the hands on his face for the sleeping part of the song! So much cuteness! Love the Elf video too! We watched both several times - Simon kept telling me "more, more!"
It looks like Preston had fun at the holiday party! Simon is the same way - needs a little time to assess the room and then he's good to go!
Merry Christmas!! Can't wait to see pics/video of Preston on Christmas morning!
