The Christmas pageant at the local preschool was a pretty spectacular event that really impressed everyone who came along.
With performances by each class, including some classic Michael Jackson moves and some Jackson Five grooves, there was laughter mixed with joyful tears from all the parents and families present. Overwhelmed with parental pride we watched on as these little youngsters moonwalked, cartwheeled and sang through their numbers.
And then the littlies came out, all dressed in white… camouflaging their cheekiness with angel wings and halo’s and for a little while, they were our cherubs… so cute in their outfits and mis-timed maneuvers, beaming with pride as they tried to catch Daddy’s eye.
But that wasn’t the end of the excitement, oh no! For on the roof, with some jingling bells one could hear the Ho! Ho! Ho! of a jolly red suited man, and with eager anticipation the children waited for him to descend. And one little angel made very sure he stuck to him like glue… and despite the halo and wings, he reverted to general cheekiness and began drilling the big guy until it his name was called out….
And not content with just one gift the little “angel” keenly observed, to be sure that there wasn’t one more in the sack reserved for him. Hmmm…
There could be no mistaking the sibling resemblance, big sister realised that Santa was there just for the children of the preschool…. sadly no presents for her, however her attention was soon turned toward the tables at the back, fully laden will all manner of party food, and her frown turned around…
And then the little angel re-appeared and the pure joy experienced by children in the smallest little thing was there for all to see.
The sweet, little Christmas Angel
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of my clients, vendors and new photographer friends for their wonderful support in what has been an amazing start up year for me. The business is now 10 months old and I so grateful to you all.
I’ll be taking a break from the end of this week and will re-open on 16th January, although I will be about for gift vouchers and newborn sessions during this time. Sessions are filling up in Jan, though there are some spots available so shoot me a message if you need to confirm your session dates.
During the break I will continue to blog some of my favourites from this year, including some new stuff, and some images that haven’t yet been posted. I’ll also be working on some new portfolio shots, and updating my galleries. I’m also really looking forward to working on some books and albums that I’ve been aching to get started on.
I hope this year has been really good to you and wish you all the very best for the Holiday season and 2010. Stay safe and stay in touch,
