Well, this year saw Kezia do her first Christmas Concert with her pre-school.
For the past few weeks she has been singing her songs at school - and treating me to interesting renditions of songs at home. There's been something about Christmas Pudding, she's been singing the Hokey Cokey and Jingle Bells - or Tinkerbells as it is sung in our house. I've been wondering what all these song snippets were about and was intrigued to find out if they featured in the concert .. or if Kezia was just weird!
We were allowed 2 seats at the concert and as Chancey-babes couldn't make it, dearest mamma (Grum) came instead. We got there nice and early and bagged two front row seats! hehehehee
Kezia had to be dressed all in green for the concert because she was playing the role of a Christmas Tree. :D
The children all marched in an orderly fashion onto the stage, Kezia included. It was hilarious to watch all the children wave to their parents. Kezia couldn't see us at first, because she was sat behind a snowy chimney pot, so she waved to the general audience with much glee! It was very funny.
In the concert itself, Kezia was amazing. She paid attention and did all the hand movements to the songs and we could see her singing merrily along. Once she had spotted us on the other side of the stage, we got most of her attention but she still did all her movements - she was just doing them to us!
I was so proud of her. She's the youngest at the pre school at the moment - the only one under the age of 3 - so she really did well. I got a little tearful to see her so grown up.
At the end of the concert there were mince pies for the audience whilst the children (and me) went back to the pre-school where Father Christmas was waiting as a surprise. It was just wonderful.
I have to give full credit to Ladybirds PreSchool in Ampthill. They are an amazing group of women who care for those children so beautifully. My little Kezia is so happy there, and it's all thanks to them.
So let's raise a glass of festive cheer to all the workers at the preschool - and a huge cheer for all the little ones who created such a wonderful concert. It really was a day to remember. If someone said to me on the eve before my wedding day that in four years time, to the day, I would be sat watching my little girl do her first Christmas Concert I wouldn't have believed you. I am so lucky that my wonderful wedding day just led to an even more wonderful life. I am so lucky. And Kezia is so beautiful as a Christmas Tree!
