Our Christmas Star!

Mommy and our little Christmas Star!

On Friday, Potterhouse School finished it's first term with its annual Christmas concert. Ava was a star in the kindergarten nativity pageant: Literally, she was a twinkling star with the other children in the PEACH class.

Ava's star

Over the past month, Ava has been learning her Christmas songs and about the story of the nativity. Although her role in the concert was a star, she has been coming home over the past week or so, proclaiming "I'm the baby Jesus!". It has been quite funny having Ava randomly enter into conversations with this announcement.

We were on the edge of our seats as gifts were brought to Mary and Joseph, knowing that at any time Ava might announce the scandalous news "NO! I'M the baby JESUS!!!"

By God's merciful grace, Ava remained seated and silent during this part of the play.

As it was, Ava spent most of her energy focused on keeping the star on top of her head. The yellow band was a little too loose for Ava and her sparkling star.

The concert was a wonderful success!

Ava is now enjoying the rest of December off, as Potterhouse takes a long Christmas break.
