Ava's Christmas Program

The Friday before Christmas Ava's preschool had a short Christmas program and party.  The week before the program Ava was really sick and I was worried she wouldn't make it to the party.  Luckily she started feeling better because she would of been sad to miss the program.

The day of the program it was pouring rain.  It was hard to find a place to park and when I got inside there was nowhere to sit.  I ended up standing on top of a counter so I could see who was on the far side and bottom row.  It was a little crazy but worth it.

The kids sang 3 songs and recited a poem.  Ava knew all of them and had been practicing at home.  She was happy and always loves to sing.  Her favorite song was "Up on a Housetop".  Ava was also excited because one of the teachers gave her a bell necklace.

After singing the party started.  Santa Claus arrived and Ava wasn't afraid.  She sat on his lap and told him what she wanted for Christmas.  She also ate fruit and a mini cupcake.  After eating we decided it was time to go home and rest.  We had a lot of fun, so much fun that Ava went right to sleep when we got home.

This is the Santa skirt I made Ava for the program.

There were several different classes at the program.  Ava is on the right side in the front row.  I was sad because a lot of the smaller kids (like Ava) were in the front.

This is when they recited 5 Little Snowman.

I know she looks scared but she wasn't.  Ava was really happy to see Santa this year.  Unfortunately there were a lot of kids waiting so I didn't get the best picture.

Out of all the desserts Ava picked the smallest cutest cupcake.
