ella's christmas program

last night was ella's christmas program.
the evening was a bit more chaotic then i had hoped for.
this is barth's call week and i was praying all would be quiet friday evening.
the day started out looking good. all cases were scheduled to be done in time.
he called just as the girls and i were heading out the door....he would be there just in time. what a stroke of luck!
as we pulled into the school parking lot we were greeted by barth who had a less than plesant look on his face.
it didn't take any explanation on his part to know the girls and i would be on our own for the night.
thankfully the girls were so caught up in the excitement of being at school, in the dark, with their new dresses on that their disappointment didn't last long.

ella did a great job. wish i could have taped it for daddy. i am just thankful we made it through the night with no meltdowns despite going to bed at 10pm.

i got a few pictures of the girls looking pretty cute...

{there was just enough time to get one picture of barth before he headed back to the hospital}

{ella post performance, she was exhausted}

{my girls...so blessed}
