One evening was Family Night, where the kids performed in a little music program. It was adorable! Levi and his school friends
sang four songs about Christmas and then afterwords we shopped the book fair and stopped off to see Santa! This was a first for both the kids to visit with Santa. We tried to take Levi la couple years ago to the mall, but the line was very very very long, plus the picture was $25. So, we waved at Santa from a distant. This was the first time Levi talked to Santa, sat on Santa’s lap or shook Santa’s hand. With it being their first experiences with Santa, I wasn’t real sure what would happen. I plopped both of them in Santa’s lap in hopes of a good picture. They were a little unsure of the guy in the big red suit and the long white itchy beard, but they did great! This video captures their reactions. Shelby had us laughing!
In the end, we had a cute picture. Hey, no one is crying! I consider that a win!
Later in the week, there was a Grandparents’ Coffee, where the kids performed again for all their grandparents. We didn’t tell Levi, but
we invited Ryan’s parents to come and hear Levi sing. Thankfully, they both were able to come! I dropped Levi off at his class and then made my way to the fellowship hall, where I meet up with Ryan, Shelby, Poppi and Grammie. We were able to sit in the front row. Levi walked on staged and ended us sitting almost in front of us. 
The show started and Levi had yet spotted us. As the third song began, I was getting nervous, because I really wanted Levi to see Poppi and Grammie before it was all over. Finally, as the sang their third song, Levi spotted all of us! Here’s a video of him singing and his surprise! I love his excitement and how he is pointing everyone out to his good friend, Stephen. Levi even says, “That’s my sister, Shelby!”After the singing, we ate cookies together and just spent some time talking with Levi. He was thrilled to have us all there and was just beaming from ear to ear.
If having Poppi and Grammie there wasn’t enough, Clifford The Big Red Dog showed up. Levi was so excited!! He practically jumped into Clifford’s arms!
All in all it was a great week. We had a lot of fun spending time together and watching Levi sing. He has really taken to his music class. How can I tell? Well, several times a day he burst into song as he’s playing or riding in the car or laying in bed. He gets all jazzed up. I love how it has drawn him out and gives him something else to be proud about.
And of course, we can’t leave this little cutie pie out…she took a quick nap in the car as we drove Levi to school. Little one decided to wake up at 5:50. She needed the little nap.
