My Littlest Angel

This morning, Abby surprised us all and made an appearance in her school program as a Christmas angel. I've been asking her for the past few weeks what she was going to do in the program, and the best I could get from her was that she was going to have some bells and sing Jingle Bells. I had NO idea that today's program was going to be a "production!" We had shepherds, and wisemen, and elves....and my favorite...the angels!

Just as soon as their little songs were done, the kids shuffled out just as quickly as they came in...

...and because there was no time for posing or crazy moms wielding cameras, my little angel flew right past me in a blur. No time for camera setting changes....and just like that she was gone.

This picture is pretty indicative of how this whole season has felt....just a big blur. But, we are counting our blessings along the way, even when the angels are among us for just a little while...
