The Exeter-Milligan Preschool class performed for their families on Thursday morning.  The preschoolers used their jingle bells to perform "Jingle Bells" and then did a snowman and snowlady song before donning their Santa masks and telling the crowd, "Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas."  After performing they enjoyed snacks and then had a surprise visit from T-Magic, the Exeter-Milligan Timberwolf.  
 

Brett Kallhoff is happy to see T-Magic at the Exeter-Milligan Preschool party.

Exeter's Decorated Up for Christmas

I don't think there is any amount of fog that this Rudolph couldn't guide Santa's sleigh through.  This giant reindeer was made by Norm Bristol and can be seen in his yard in Exeter.
