Luke's Christmas Performance

I know I am super behind on my blogging, but I'm still going to try and catch up in the order that events occurred. So here we go...

At the beginning of December, Luke's school put on a Christmas concert for all the grandparents (and parents too, of course.) It was so much fun to see Luke up on stage just singing his little heart out. He was so excited about the music and his sweet face would light up every time he looked at us in the audience and saw that we were all there watching him.

This is him shaking his bell during the song "Bells are Ringing".


Mimi and Papaw came to watch.



Lily certainly loves her Papaw!


This picture is probably my absolute favorite picture of Luke and his Nina.


And here are the kiddos with Grandpa.


After the concert and the book fair, I went back to Luke's classroom and got to watch them do something they call "Follow the Star". The kids all dress up like sheperds and then one of the wise men comes by all the rooms holding up a star and the kids all follow him to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is a room that they have set up with a manger and a real Mary and Joseph that tell the story of Jesus' birth. Then the kids get to go up and see the baby and ask any questions they have about the story. I thought it was really neat and I love how involved I and other parents get to be with what goes on at school.


The whole experience was wonderful and it reminds me of how much Luke is growing up and how thankful I am that there are so many people in his everyday life that are teaching him about Jesus.
