Ellie's end-of-year program

Ellie's end-of-year program at school was last Thursday and it was so cute! She was originally chosen to say a short bible verse, and apparently did well during rehearsals...until the microphone was introduced, at which point she refused to ever say it again. So another girl in her class said the verse and did a great job! The theme of the program was celebrating God's love and it was just so sweet to see all of the kiddos singing and dancing in such joy.

The pictures are out of order, but it was too much work to rearrange them...

This is the final "number" with all of the kids on stage -- sweet Jackson is in orange, kind of crouching behind the speaker thing; Ellie is in a yellow t-shirt with white pants in the front row:

And here is Ellie's class (the Toddlers) and The Little Ones. Seeing her here made me realize just how tall she is -- she's nearly a head taller than everyone else in her class:

This is the very beginning of Ellie's song -- everyone is laughing because the second the music started, all of the kids started jumping like crazy -- so cute!
