Avery's Christmas Program - Baaaa!

I am so in love with Avery's new preschool.
Originally, we had planned on sending her to the same preschool
the older girls attended.  It's a great preschool, but for some
reason, I was really being pulled to find something different.

So, 2 days before school starts, I sent a desperate late-night email
to my neighbor, who also is the director of a local church-run preschool.
Now, if you know anything about preschools around here you know
that you can not call days, weeks, or even months before school 
and have a prayer of getting a spot.  Well, by the grace of God, they
happen to have a spot that just became open, and it had
Avery's name all over it!

I have not regretted that late night decision for one second.
Avery is doing so well there. She is making friends, learning some cool
stuff and gaining confidence and independence everyday!

One of the coolest things about her new school: the Christmas program!
I don't know how they did it, but they had all the kids, in costume and
singing for all the teary-eyed parents.  What a blessing (and miracle workers)
these teachers are!

Aves was a sheep, and about the cutest sheep I've ever seen.
Best quote: Teacher, "Avery be sure to smile."  
Avery, "I can't smile. I'm a sheep. Sheep don't smile."
Luckily, she couldn't resist a couple grins for her adoring
audience!

Avery, we love you to the moon and baaaaack!
