That was the night of Matthew's school Christmas Concert. The very first one. I'm sure it will always be remembered as the very best one. The kindergartners always steal the show. The principal was careful to advise the audience that we could not just up and leave after the kindergarten performance. Obviously, he's been to more than one of these events. We, however, did not heed his advice. Seeing as Matthew was the only child from our family performing that evening, we both went to "collect" him when he was finished...and we just never came back to our seats. In our defense, it was already close to his bedtime, and he was definitely tired, so we decided that he "needed his rest" and we went home.
His class "rang" Jingle Bells perfectly. Each child had a bell and followed the teacher's cues at the perfect moment. We were soo very proud! Then all the lights in the gym went out, and each child held up a glow stick while they sang "This Little Light of Mine." I still get choked up whenever Matt starts to sing that little tune.
More to come...eventually you'll be all up to date.
Blessings,
