Many special events have helped us get ready and into the spirit of the season:
Hannah's school had their Christmas concert on 12/12/12. It was Hannah's first stage debut and she did great. Despite it being crowded and chaotic, I truly enjoyed watching her.
She had her second stage debut performing in the church pageant of the Christmas Story. All the first graders were star bearers and each had to make thier own star to carry. It was another fun night. She also had her singing debut when she sang "Away in a manger" with two other friends.
We spent a lovely afternoon having tea with the Sugar Plum Fairy and then later went to see "The Nutcracker". Hannah just loves that story and the ballet.
Our final event was the Lori Line Christmas Concert. This was somewhat of a tradition for my parents and I. We went together many years and they both loved it. Now I am able to pass that down to Hannah. Somehow on this night she looked like such a grown up girl in her Christmas finery. She loved the show but slightly more than halfway through I got proof that she was still my little girl as she fell fast asleep and missed the last 45 minutes. She even slept through a killer drum solo!
Things we did together at home included decorating the tree and making cookies. We also made santa, a snowman, and a snowlady to adorn our front window.
Christmas is so much fun with a child!
