O Christmas Tree, our Christmas Tree

Cora's preschool presented "The Littlest Christmas Tree" to all the parents Wednesday, on the last day of school for 2011 and the day of the class's Christmas party.
 The play was kept a top secret by the kids, and so Stace and I were happily surprised to find out that our Cora was playing the title role! Above, after being ignored by families selecting their Christmas trees, she is being decorated by the rabbits of the forest.
 There were lots of cute songs and hand motions, and we could always hear Cora's voice as she sang. As the play ended, she wasn't too cool to wave heartily at us.
 Proud daddy and the star of the show!
 Maya, Juliana and Natalia were able to come out and watch, and Maya took part in the Christmas party after the play. The children decorated Christmas trees - sugar cones - with green frosting and candies. Violet ate her weight in candy and kept asking for more. While Cora's never been overly concerned with sweets, Violet definitely has a sweet tooth!
 As the icing on the cake, Santa paid the children a visit! This Santa looked very much like Don, the leader of my small group at church. Hmmm. He called all the children up by name and read out the lists they had written earlier. Cora was consistent with what she's been asking for all season - a computer, a dollhouse, a Peter Pan doll, and a Barbie doll.

Below are two videos from the end of the show. Enjoy!
