Singing and hand motions

Last night was the annual Christmas Program at Zoey's preschool.

Her class certainly won the award, in my opinion, for most enthusiastic ensemble.

Yes, what they lacked in skill, they certainly made up for in excitement and hand motions.  They were one of few classes actually able to drown out the voice-over on the taped background music.  I give all the four-year-olds credit for coordinating the words to Away in a Manger with hand motions, all while keeping their silver tinsel halos fixed firmly on their heads.

And there were COOKIES waiting afterwards!  Cookies!  Apparently nothing motivates a preschooler to cooperate and sing like the promise of treats after a performance.
