Essie's school Christmas party

We always look forward to Essie's school party...this year it was the night of the last day of school before winter break.  After I picked her up from school, we got all gussied up and headed over.  The kiddos sang a ton of songs...our favorite was "I'm a Little Star" and "Up on the Housetop".  She sang every word of every song...we were so proud.

The kiddos had gifts for us parents (a Santa hand print ornament and a framed silhouette).  We were so excited to get them.  We ate a delicious dinner with everyone.

The kids then exchanged gifts with each other...Essie and her friend Abigail exchanged with each other.  It was beyond precious to watch.

The kiddos wrapped up the night with a visit with Santa and received a stocking of more goodies.
