Piper's Party Program

It was Piper's turn to shine at her Christmas 'Party Program' this past Thursday, and did she ever!   Even walking into school with her was special.  She held my hand ever so tightly, and with her eyes squeezed shut, face tipped to the sky she excitedly caught snowflakes on her tongue.  I could have watched her forever.  

And no, she is not standing on a different (higher) riser than the rest of her class in that row :)

Unfortunately, Bryndel and I were the only ones able to see her perform, as Kyle & Hadley were both home sick.  This time with an upper respiratory flu (K) and pneumonia (H; those calls to the Royal Family are really racking up our phone bill, ha!).  I guess it is par for the course, considering I missed Hadley's program this year due to sickness as well!  Despite being sick a lot lately, we have SO much to be thankful this Christmas season!  We are hunkered in now, getting healthy, and anxiously awaiting Jesus's birthday!
