Lily was so excited about her school's Christmas program. She asked me probably two dozen times in the few days beforehand if I would be there. She just couldn't wait to perform; this is the same child who not too long ago dreaded performing in front of people! She wanted to keep her part of the show a surprise, so I had very little idea of what she was going to do.
Just before we left, she practiced her curtsy. Such a cutie!
The program started with the whole school singing together which was neat. Then, Lily's class and the other Kindergarten class stayed on stage while everyone else sat down. They performed three songs and Callie recited part of Luke 2 which was so sweet. Lily had mentioned they were playing instruments which was exciting for them; what 5 or 6 year old doesn't love to make music? Here is a link to the classes playing "It's Christmastime." Lily is in the front row, in the middle.
After they finished these few songs, most of the kids sat down though Lily, Emory, Avery, Kelsey and Nara stayed on stage, and three first grade boys joined them. They handed out their boomwhackers. Now, Lily had mentioned to me she was playing a boomwhacker. Honestly I thought this was a cutesy-Kindergarten name for a drum. Nope. It's a real instrument! To top it off, Lily's was pink which thrilled her. They played "Joy to the World," and it was absolutely adorable! You can see the link to it here. We were so proud of Lily and her friends for this!
After they played the boomwhackers, Lily and her friends sat down while the other students performed. Everyone did a great job. It was such a wonderful evening. I feel like there is true joy at ACCA, and you could really feel it among everyone this evening. We are so glad to be a part of this incredible school!
