Lauren's School Program

Lauren had a Christmas program at her school. Last year, we enjoyed watching Jackson in his program. I remembered watching the babies during their number and getting choked up thinking about how this year, we would have a baby girl participating.

Jackson was so excited to go to Lauren's program. He remembered singing in it last year. He insisted on getting dressed up just like Lauren. He wanted to wear his Christmas church clothes.

Jackson getting dressed up.


Lauren in her pretty Christmas dress. (I had a hard time picking out her first Christmas dress. I made my mom go store to store with me looking at all of my options. I was really happy at what I finally decided on -- red velvet -- a classic.)


Lauren's teacher got her in her costume.


Jackson waited patiently for the program to begin.


Lauren's class went around the room with their jingle bells.

Lauren loved shaking her bells!

I tried to get a picture of the kids all dressed up, but it didn't work out for me!


We did get a picture of the two kids with two of our favorite teachers -- Ms. Melinda and Mrs. Erin. Mrs. Erin was Jackson's teacher when he went to Children's Ark. We LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Mrs. Erin. She is now the Assistant Director. She dotes on Lauren and helps to spoil her. Mrs. Erin often goes into Lauren's room and takes her to just hold her and play with her in her office. All of the staff members joke about Lauren being "Mrs. Erin's baby" and how you'd better take care of "Mrs. Erin's baby"! Mrs. Melinda also worked with Jackson some when he went to the daycare too. She was a teacher in the infant room before being promoted as well. Both women take such good care of Lauren. Lauren laughs and kicks her legs when she sees them. It is so nice to know that my baby is so loved while I am at work each day.


Ms. Melinda and Mrs. Erin insisted on getting a picture with each one hugging each of our children.

As with all school programs, we ended the evening at Braum's. Lauren didn't get to eat ice cream this time, but we each had some in her honor!
