Lillian performed her Christmas Program this year at St. Francis. It was adorable and all the children did great! She was so happy walking into the chapel this morning and just waved at me! She saw her great friends there- Jessica, Lisa and Lily. That made her morning! They came to cheer her on and wish her well!
Her class sang three songs this year- Advent, Jingle Bell Rock and I Just Want to Be A Sheep. All the songs were amazing and I always enjoy watching Lillian perform. I did notice this year she was distracted a little by all the people and kept looking around to find someone she knew! Such a mess! But, she did a great job with her songs and sang her little heart out! Lydia even clapped loud for her big sister and it melted my heart. Lillian kept waving to us and blowing us kisses too. Right back at ya! :)
After the program, the school hosted a cookie reception. Needless to say, both Lillian and Lydia ate too many cookies and ended up wearing most of it home on their dresses. Lydia cracks me up with how she eats! She wanted more cookies and finally it was time to go after a couple of trips to the cookie table! Lillian enjoyed her cookies too and mingling with her friends. She was excited Jessica and the family came to see her today and she wanted to show them off to everyone.
Christmas brings out the best in us and our children. It is wonderful to see the children enjoying school and chapel. I kept seeing Lillian say good bye to all her friends and she was telling them Merry Christmas too. Children are so sweet and innocent and you want to protect that Christmas spirit and excitement. It wasn't about presents today...it was about sharing Christmas with all her friends. Lillian told me at the end of the program, "It feels like Christmas today!"
Merry Christmas and love you all!
Julie
