Last night was Zoe's school Christmas program. She has been talking for weeks about being a dove in the program and she couldn't wear glitter or heels. We received a letter that the boys would be wearing red ties and the girls needed a fancy dress. Zoe was beyond excited to get some more miles out of her favorite blue, twirly dress.
The program was held at a local church. Two of Zoe's classmates are members of the church and their dads are pastors there. She was beyond excited to go to Addy's and Caleb's church for her Christmas concert!
When we got there, we found her awesome teacher Mrs. Wood and some of her classmates.
What's funny is a little girl in the back totally photobombed me!
Aren't they so cute all dressed up and ready to perform? Knowing this was her second to last day with these wonderful people made me a little teary all night. These are, quite simply, some of the best people I've ever had the privilege of knowing. These children love each other like family. Their parents genuinely care about each of our families and we all get along! Mrs. Wood...there is not enough words to describe how incredible she is. God has truly blessed her with a gift for teaching. I am so blessed that she was Zoe's teacher.
The kids sang a song called "The Friendly Beasts." It's about the animals in the stable being the first to welcome the Son of God to earth that night. Zoe's part was the dove!
Because I have an "in" with the pastor's wife, I got second row to take these pictures of our girl. When she spotted me, she waved and gave me this smile.
Throughout the night I watched as families beamed with pride for their kiddos. Absent was N. While leaving these beautiful people is going to be hard, I'm beyond excited to share future events with him. I know this is where God is leading us.
