Christmas Around the World

Last night was Rachel's Christmas program at school. The theme was Christmas Around the World, and the kids were asked to dress in a costume that represented their family's cultural background. Only some of the kids actually did, but Rachel was all decked out in a Scottish kilt, sash, and tam, in honor of her Daddy's side of the family. Grandma made it for her (without even having a pattern, might I add! She used one of Rachel's cousins kilts as a guide and scaled it down to Rachel's size--what talent!!!).

Of course, we're not biased or anything, but she was the cutest one up on that big stage! (doesn't she look so small???)








You could tell when she'd spot us in the crowd because she'd break out into a huge smile. She didn't do anything embarrassing, like I was afraid she might do, and was quite serious and intent on what she was supposed to be doing.

Sadly, none of the pictures came out all that well, but you can get the idea. We couldn't have been more proud of our sweet little girl.



Afterwards she was wired, and kept telling us how much fun it was.
