Esme's kindergarten Christmas program at school was very cute. She was thrilled when Santa Claus arrived on the scene, he was a surprise! She said later, "But Mom, I didn't see the sleigh and the reindeer in the parking lot when we went home." I told her Santa probably had to park behind the school so his reindeer could munch on the bushes.

Esme and her teacher, Mrs. Morrell, after the kindergarten Christmas program:


Dutifully ringing her jingle bells in this picture, Esme also had a chance to play the sticks during her program.


She really gets into singing!!!


She was very glad to see me in the audience when I stood up to take her picture, behind three ranks of very tall people.
