Oh I Want a Hippopotamus....



Ethan's preschool Christmas program was today and it was a "Pajama Party for Jesus". They celebrated this morning with breakfast for Jesus' birthday and then at 10:30 filed into the sanctuary for their program. One of the songs they sang was the Hippopotamus song and the kids in front had these hippo masks - too cute! Of course, every time Ethan saw me hold the camera up he tried to cover his face. I'm surprised I even got this shot! The kids and teachers did a fabulous job!

I'm so thankful for Appletree and their focus on teaching the kids about Jesus. The Christmas party centered around a birthday party for Jesus - not the presents, candy, etc. All of that stuff is fun, too, of course, but I like knowing that the kids are being taught the real reason for Christmas and instilling values and priorities that we try to teach at home, also.
