Our family was so excited to share in the joy of Eliza Kate's first musical debut at preschool this week. "O Come All Ye Faithful" was the theme. Each three's class worked with Ms. Ellie during music to perfect their two songs. For weeks, we witnessed EK belting out Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and Come Little Children in the car. She really liked practicing in the bath tub where her voice sounded especially operatic. Most of the time we would join chorus with her for a Fokens family concert which always lead to her protesting for a solo performance:)
Grandmama and Poppy joined Landon and I at church to save seats for this most special concert. Then we saw our girl enter the stage in a line with her class wearing a sparkling gold halo of shimmer. She wasn't so sure what to make of the crowd awaiting her performance.
Their motions were precious. The weeks of prep was evident. Although, Eliza Kate did have her hands in her mouth as a nervous habit. She amazed us by memorizing a passage from Luke to recite.
She's rocking baby Jesus here--- "And, see baby Jesus asleep on the hay?"
Here she is waving to me as I assumed a front row seat squatting with a few other moms at the foot of the stage. Eliza Kate caught Grandmama and Poppy's attention and she gave a big wave across the room.
Bennett is her favorite boy in the room. He's really active, silly and rough just like her brother. It's no wonder she's chosen him to run around the playground with.
Each 3's class performed their own song with motions. It was so festive and perfectly preschool.
We purchased the entire DVD, but Landon still likes to capture snippets of our favorite girl in her element. She rushed to hug Landon's neck before he rushed off to an appointment. I love that he makes it a priority to squeeze in family during the work day. Eliza Kate is surely a daddy's girl.
We managed time after school meeting friends at the indoor playground. Lots of chasing and sliding was the reward for a job well done. Merry Christmas from our preschool girls.

What a precious little angel. I can't get enough of those school performances. I'm glad to hear though that its not just my kids who prefer for their parents not to join in on the singing:)
