    Esther will run dressed as Santa! Are you going to miss it? :)

    As you may know, I hate everything that involves a costume: Carnival, Halloween, theme parties... You name it!
    But there are times we need to put our tastes aside, swallow our pride and do the right thing and this is one of these times. Every kid in the world deserves that their dreams come true, so let's do whatever we can to make this possible!
