Noah’s class gave a small, impromptu Christmas concert on the 15th, during lunchtime. Two days before, his teacher sent home a note informing us that the children had requested the chance to cook and eat lunch at school like they did in kindergarten every month. Being the awesome, amazing teacher she is, she immediately said yes, and asked for a couple of parents to come in and help supervise. So many volunteered, including myself, that they had to do a random drawing to choose names! That’s a great group of parents.
Since I ended up not needing to come cook, I baked a bunch of cookies to bring for the dessert buffet afterwards. The girls accompanied me back up to the school after our quick lunch at home so they could also enjoy the concert, and the cookies. 🙂
Christian Stuckert volunteered to come practice with the children for several days before the concert, and then accompanied them as the actual performance. He is a retired music teacher that lives in the village, and is always willing to help out at the kids’ school concerts. So nice.
We had pretty good seats, and could tell that Noah really sang almost all the words to the songs. 
I tried to take some video, but it didn’t work. I only started really recording, when I thought I had turned it off. Doh!
The kids were super excited about the huge variety of treats the parents had brought. I even got a recipe for lebkuchen from one mom. Noah asked me to, since it was his favorite. 
Alexandra, Noah and I all stayed and chatted until it was time for the older girls to go back to class. They were sad they didn’t get to come home with us, but only Noah doesn’t have afternoon school on Thursdays. Thanks for helping us get even more in the Christmas spirit, Noah!
