Ella's first Christmas Pageant

Ella's preschool had its Christmas performance/celebration the other day and, after attending the Thanksgiving feast and watching Ella never open her mouth as the class sang songs, we were curious as to what her level of participation would be in this event... She started off great (clip #1), jingling her bells as loudly and eagerly as the others as they all marched in, and continued to do so as they all sang Jingle Bells (a song she knows well), but then (clip #2) made a resolute decision not to follow any more directions and you can actually see her almost grab for her bells or start making hand motions and then stop, shake her head and pout. We had a great laugh. (And stay tuned for a recap and video of the Christmas Eve performance...) (AGAIN, WILL UPLOAD SOON)
