Primary Program

Today the 3 littles had a primary program. 

They all did a great job.

All three had their part memorized, even B!

C stood at the front of the chapel like a gentleman.

E snuck a wave to mom and dad.

And B, well he stood on his tip toes, turned around, 

ducked behind his friends 

and waved with both hands in the air.

 I was smiling proudly........ 

Snuggling with B & N while we all watched a movie...
