Ali's first school performance

It is always exciting to go to winter concerts, especially your own child's first performance.  Ali was sick last week and we thought of ditching, but on Sunday, she got better (and also we didn't want to waste our money, $38/person, buddy) so we decided to stick with our original plan.  All in all, it was really nice to see the kids and the teachers interact and all the parents get to meet other parents and chit chat about school and other random stuff.  Food was okay, but the performances were just too cute.

Here is a clip of Ali "performing".  At first she was just kind of stunned watching all the people on the floor, but then she got into it and started to shake the bells.  Pretty cute.

We sat with one of Ali's classmates, Colby.
