This is the first year we have not had to be out of town for the end of year performances. They usually do them the month before classes are finished. Lauren had hers on the first day. She was beyond excited. It was hard to get a clear shot of her in this one because she was in the back row, but this one turned out. When I picked Lauren up from class, her teachers said she had been so happy all day. They said that they have never seen a kid so excited to wear make-up.
She was chose to be one of six girls to carry the umbrella and wear the qipao. She looked adorable. She saw us during this dance and has a hard time not smiling at us :)
After the show, the classes got group pictures and a group picture with the parents.
One proud big sister!
Lauren was so excited to give her daddy a big hug when she was done.
Yes. That is make-up on a boy. Each kid got the exact same make-up. This is Lauren's best friend, Fang Shu Xian.
Katherine's dances were on the second day. I had no idea that the homemade dress was for the performance! She was absolutely adorable walking hand in hand with her friend, Cheese Tank.
This was part of the second "dance" which was really showing off the fact that they could sing the Wheels on the Bus in English.
I would post a video of this one, but it was a LONG 7 and a half minutes! I had NO IDEA that you could make that song go on for so long ;)
Katherine's class some how did not get the memo about group pictures afterward. All the parents were waiting and by the time we got up to the kids' room, they had been changed into normal clothes. We took the kids out for lunch since it was a special day.
Here is Benjamin pre-hair cut on day 1 with his little sister...
...and his post hair cut picture on day 2 with his other little sister. I am trying to get a video up of the little girls dancing, but until it gets uploaded, here are a few shots of some of the other kids dancing.
