Ashlyn's Christmas Program

Ashlyn participated in her very first Christmas program this year with Apple Tree. She was so cute and she tried very hard to do what she was supposed to do. However, she couldn't resist the wave to mom from the stage. Way cute! After the last song was sung, Santa made his appearance on the stage, much to the surprise of the children. Funny thing though, Ashlyn was the only one who freaked out. She stood up from her chair, looked him square in the eye, then turned toward me screamming "MOMMY!" Everyone around me was like "oh that poor child, where is her mother?" I turned and said, she's mine and went to comfort her. She came out of it eventually and sat reluctantly on his lap, remembering to ask for a candy cane instead of any toy.
