Today was Anna's Christmas program at school. Each year they have every class get up in front of all the parents and they each sing a different Christmas song. This year Anna's class sang "Purple and Blue". Maybe I'm weird, but I've never heard of this song until today! It was kind of cute, but I'm still not sure of all of the words since I heard it sung by a bunch of toddlers. "/

After the Halloween parade debacle, I wasn't about to make the same mistakes again. Anna got decent sleep, and I made sure she didn't see me before their performance. She did awesome! I'm pretty sure she was the best in her class! Waving her little leaves and stomping her feet! She was cute!

Look at her performing up a storm!  :) — Look at her performing up a storm! :)

Fortunately, the tears were short-lived. They played a very friendly game of musical chairs and under each chair was a gift-wrapped book.

Took the kids a minute to realize there was a present under their chairs.  :) — Took the kids a minute to realize there was a present under their chairs. :)

Anna was so super pumped about her book...

She was so bummed we weren't taking it home...I'm going to have to go buy it for her now.
