The parents of six-year-old Charlotte Bacon wanted to get her a pink dress for the holidays, but her mother argued against it. The father and son went shopping, and Jesse bought ornaments for his first-grade teacher and his mother. #2 The family of seven-year-old Daniel Barden moved to Newtown in 2007, when Daniel was two years old. They were excited about the schools there, and especially about the reputation of the ones in Sandy Hook. #3 Christmas was still eleven days away for many of the children at Sandy Hook Elementary. Some were focused on Christmas, while others were focused on their future ambitions. #4 The bus driver pulled away, and there was no suppressing the joy of Olivia Engel, who was active in her church's CCD musical program, as the hours counted down to one of the final weekends before Christmas.
