November 29th was the night of Esther and Emma's preschool Christmas program.
The girls attend a small in-home preschool run by one of my best friends' mother, "Nana". I also work at the preschool during the mornings while the girls are there, so it allows me more time to be with them. We have 18 children, ages 4 1/2-1. I absolutely love my job-- I adore all of my kids and love having the opportunity to spend time with all of them. Each one is so special in their own way.. but I would be lying if I said I didn't have my favorites. =)
Esther and Emma have greatly benefited from attending Nana's school-- their social skills and speech have improved tremendously since being there.
Owner, Head Teacher, and my boss, Nana is a wonderful woman who has been caring for kids over the last 10 years. We have a wonderful program she has put together and it shows by how well behaved our kids are. Not only do our two-year-old know the Pledge of Allegiance, but they can also recite Genesis 1:1, and have impeccable manners!
The Christmas program was just something we put together for the parents. It was a little crazy during the many costume changes, but I think the parents really enjoyed seeing their kids in action..

Since I was backstage helping, I handed off my camera to our friend Jenny and she took some great photo's! Here's Mom, Kayla, and those crazy boys waiting for the program to start.
All of our children know the Pledges to the Bible, Christian Flag and the American Flag. We recite them every morning! It's pretty neat to hear even our littlest two year olds reciting them.
Every day Nana asks questions about each flag, which helps it stick to their brains. For instance, one of our 18-month-old's knows that there are 50 stars on the American flag!
Esther reciting her memory verse.I'm very happy to say that all of our kids know at least 30 scripture verses.. which is sadly, more than I know.
Emma's turn.. although she's pretty much kissing the microphone! =)
Backstage.. time for a costume change!
Looks like chaos.. but it really wasn't all that bad.

Esther and Abigail looking beautiful!
Rachel, Jordan, Esther and BrendanThis part of our program was called the "Grand Entrance." We dressed all of the girls in floor-length gowns, and the boys in suites and had them walk out to holiday music. They looked pretty darn cute!
Lady Esther and Master Brendan!
Master Jagger and Lady Emma!(An explanation about the height difference: We have seven 4 year olds; three boys and four girls! Since Emma is the smallest of all the girls, she was paired with Jagger, who is the tallest of the 2-3 year old group. They were really cute together.)

Emma.. we're still working on the Not-lifting-your-dress-in-public act.

Ian, Jenny and AsherI saw this picture when I was downloading all of them to my computer.. =)
I didn't even notice this, but our always-willing-to-serve Emma was being especially helpful, as you can see here with her trying to help Jake take his suit off!
And here she is helping Anderson!Emma is such a sweetheart.. she is always willing to lend a helping hand.
Esther reviewing the layout for the upcoming Nativity Scene.. especially since she had a leading role!
