October - All Saints Day Celebration at Aaron's Preschool

Aaron's preschool celebrated All Saints Day. They did a parade for the parents. As they came in they sang "The Saints Go Marching On"
Aaron was "St. Matthew" or according Aaron he was "St. Aaron Matthew"

As you can see there were a variety of costumes...Aaron and I made his crown. It was a fun project.
