Danielle had her Christmas program today.
She was so excited this morning and took her duty quite seriously. Ron was supposed to be taping her, too, so I wasn't quite as diligent about starting the video on time. (Ron's video didn't turn out, though.)
She did such a nice job, and she looked so pretty. Personally, I love the dirty knees. Somehow it makes her look even cuter. I also enjoyed watching her bop around with her little friends afterward.

She is such a neat kid.

I stopped by Tyler's class before leaving and saw some papers hanging outside the door that the kids had completed after watching The Polar Express last week. The kids pieced together parts of the story in the proper order. The last paper glued in place says "Though the boy grew up, the bell still rang for him, as it does for all those who believe."
What I liked best was what Tyler wrote after his name: "Tyler R (who also believes in Santa)". He whispered to me, "I wrote that in case Santa sneaks in the school some time and sees this."
As rotten as he is sometimes, I sure do love him.
