Mr. BR's big night!

"The Twelve Days of Christmas" countdown has begun!  "Day 1 - Go watch BR in his First Grade Holiday Concert and drink Stephen's peppermint hot cocoa."  Briant did such a great job singing with gusto and remembering the words!  His favorite song of the night was DeGrazia's school song.

How fun that Aunt Suzanne and Grandma got to be here for the concert! We had a wonderful couple of days with them.  What a treat to see them both and spend some time with them! 

Notice how nice and spiffy BR looks?  Here is a bit of the conversation we had leading up to his wardrobe selection --
Me: "What are you supposed to wear tonight?"
BR:  "NOT my Santa hat!" (said unhappily)
Me:  "So, how about this nice red shirt - that's festive?"
BR:"Mrs. Allen said we have to wear our very best clothes."
Me: "Okay, so church clothes."
BR:"No, these (points to his basketball pants) are MY best clothes."
Me: "I don't think Mrs. Allen meant the clothes you LIKE best." 
Br: scowl, murmur, scowl . . ."Okay."
