Today was my little princess Charlotte’s Christmas concert at her school, and as always, it was a heartwarming experience. I swapped out my usual flip-flops for something a bit more presentable—this was a special occasion, after all—and joined my wife to cheer her on.
This marks our third year attending her school Christmas concert, and let me tell you, it never gets old. Watching Charlotte and her classmates pour their little hearts into singing their Christmas songs always hits me right in the feels. The joy, the innocence, and the effort they put into it are simply magical.
Of course, the parents made it just as entertaining. Everyone was jockeying for the perfect spot in the aisle, camera phones at the ready, determined to capture every second of their little stars. And I get it—I’m no different. My phone is already packed with pictures and videos of Charlotte, from her first steps to moments like today. Each one is a snapshot of time flying by faster than I can believe.
Today, I added another gem to our collection. Charlotte was shining as brightly as the North Star, and my wife and I were fully present, soaking it all in. Moments like these remind me how blessed we are to see her grow, flourish, and bring so much light into our lives.
I’m already looking forward to Volume 4 next year, when she’ll be in first grade. Gosh, we love it here for her. My prayer is that God continues to bless her as she blossoms into the beautiful light that she is. Watching her grow is the greatest gift of all.
