McKaila was very excited about her Christmas program at school, it's all she could talk about in the weeks leading up to it. Then, the excitement amped up when she found out that Auntie was going to be able to attend the Christmas program.
A couple weeks before the big day, McKaila asked me if I could go find her the perfect dress for the Christmas program. How can I say "no"? When she got home from school one day and showed her the dress that I had found for her, she got the biggest smile on her face and told me "it's perfect". After trying her dress on, she couldn't wait to find a big bow to go with it and she had to tell me exactly how she wanted her hair to be. Now, she still had about a week and a half until the big performance, but she was ready and knew exactly what she wanted.
McKaila has now had a handful of performances at her school and this is the first time up there that she didn't seem so scared and worried up there. She had a smile on her face and you could see that she was actually getting into the songs that she was singing. Maybe it helped that we were sitting front and center in front of her, but whatever it is, it made us all so happy to see her up there, singing and dancing!
