Bel Air Presbyterian Preschool Christmas Show

This post is a couple of months late, but I wanted to share photos from Willa's Preschool's Christmas Show. It was an amazing experience as first time parents to watch. It was so well orchestrated & the kids and teachers did a great job. They started the show with a slideshow of photos from school of each child that goes to Bel Air Presbyterian Preschool Program while a beautiful song played...I immediately and unexpectedly teared up (I think Bryan did too). 



The older classes at the preschool were the Shepherds, Mary & Joseph, Wise Men, etc...



Later in the show the nativity scene animals came out which were the kids from the two youngest classes. 



Willa was the donkey!





Willa's buddy, Noemie. 




Her good friend, Ellie with a bit of stage fright. 


Willa just sat there like a bump on a log. I think she was in shock by all of the people in the audience. 





Taking her hood off mid-show...



Free at last!...


Until a random teacher put her hood back on :)











Willa's friend Leo. After the show there was a Christmas lunch where the kids gave us Christmas cards and little ornaments they had made. It was truly awesome!

Visitors, Charleston & Florida

We've had a really fun and action packed month. We had a full house with college friends, and Willa loved having everyone stay at "her" house. 


Hiking with Tori, Sarah & Sheila


She loves Aunt Tori!


Eddie and his 1/2 brother James...Its hard to tell them apart.




Aunt Sarah and Willa at the Calabasas Farmers Market


Dressed in her new outfit from Tori and Jay. 



She loves to pick flowers from the garden and set them up in "vases" in her play room. 



Willa had fun bouncing on the trampoline with all of our visitors. She couldn't get enough!


After our visitors left, we got on an airplane to Charleston for Grumpy's surprise 70th birthday party. Willa had a blast playing with her cousins (Gavin, Katie, Alexis & baby Bennett), and the party was a complete success!


Willa passed out with Nana, Pawley and Ray Ray



Then we got on a flight to visit Grandma & Papa in Naples for a couple of days...


She loved jumping off the sofa onto her little mattress on the ground. 



The day we got there was beautiful so we were able to squeeze in some beach/pool time. 



Willa & Grandma at a Children's Museum :)



After Naples, our flight back to Charleston got cancelled so we rented a car and drove...it took us a long 12 hours, but we made it back in time to surprise Grumpy. 


Playing with her cousins...when she is around them, she wants nothing to do with us. Its kind of nice! 


Gavin, Willa & Alexis


Katie & Willa. Katie had made Willa a star pillow that Willa adores. 




And after an awesome 10 days...we flew back to LAX.
