Katherine's last week of pre-k before Christmas Break was filled with festivities.
I joined her at her Christmas party. She decorated cookies and participated in a book exchange.
Goodness, I love being her mom and being able to be present during all these special activities.
This sweet girl sat so patiently during the entire book exchange. She was the very last number and watched all her friends unwrap books before it was her turn.
Finally! She ended up with a great book. She's a big Pete the Cat fan.
The next day was the day she'd been preparing for and looking forward to for weeks! Her Christmas Program! Her excitement was contagious. She couldn't wait to perform in the play and sing all the sweet songs she'd been learning.
This might be one of my favorite pictures ever of her. I just adore the joy on her face when she saw her fan club as she walked into the auditorium.
I mean you can just feel the happiness she radiates, and she loves her people.
Our Sweet Girl was a shepherd and did an excellent job. She was especially excited to get to hold a prop during the play and to be with two of her favorite friends at school.
Her singing was beautiful too. I was so proud of her!
Each of the kids have sung "Happy Birthday Jesus" during their programs, and it's one of my favorite Christmas songs. I get emotional thinking about their precious little voices singing about Jesus' birthday.
Her program was ADORABLE and such a bittersweet moment. I can't believe after six years of attending the Preschool Christmas Program, we closed the curtain on such a special Christmas Tradition.
I will treasure the memories of my babies singing Christmas carols and acting out the Christmas story.
My Joseph who rocked out to "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"
My Wiseman who repeatedly sang "Go Tell it on the Mountain" with all the motions to his newborn sister
My other Wiseman who monopolized the microphone and practically yelled her line during the play.
And my precious shepherd who knew her line and every other line said in the play and sang Happy Birthday Jesus regularly as she played at home.
What a gift it is to be their mother and witness these milestones.
