COKER NURSERY SCHOOL'S
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCE
Retta practiced in the car before her first school Christmas performance!
"One little, two little, three little angels"
"rocking baby Jesus!"
Here she comes!
Retta sitting front row in the classroom buggy with her jingle bells!
She did great signing her way through most of the songs...it took her a while to warm up to such a large audience, but she didn't cry! She even spotted us sitting on the 5th row and started blowing us kisses!
COKER CLASSROOM CHRISTMAS PARTY
On party day, I made sure to arrive towards the end of the party - to make sure NOT to upset Retta again. When I got there she had just polished off her entire plate of snacks. Her chubby face looked extremely full and happy.
CHRISTMAS EVE
"What has my Mama making me wear in my hair!?!"
Christmas Eve finger painting...
...and a few steps to Mom...
..before tackling her.
To carry on the tradition I grew up with of always having Shirley Temple style curly hair on the evening of Christmas Eve...I rolled Retta's hair in Velcro rollers that morning. She sported them around the house just fine - so I thought she would be able to nap in them as well. Unfortunately, 30 minutes into her nap she woke up screaming...Szymon and I proceeded to try and pry the rollers out of her hair, which only made matters worse. So much for nap time. Mommy lesson learned....but she had beautiful curls none-the-less!

CHRISTMAS DAY
Retta woke up for her nap when Grandma and Grandpa arrived on Christmas day, but was still a little sleepy so after saying "Hi!" She decided to go back to bed to make sure she would have lots of energy for opening presents after dinner...or maybe it was because she was sleep deprived from no nap the day before?
"OK, I'm ready!"
"Are you guys coming?"
And once again, signing along to "Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer," one of Retta's favorite Christmas songs as she could sign her entire way through it!
"Merry Christmas!"
