We aren't so spectacular with Halloween, but we do well when given a theme and reason like school activities. This year was no exception the kids were part of the Christmas production Whoville Christmas. Mark and Addie had speaking parts, and I was surprised to see John so willingly singing!
Reed was fun to watch too, he knew all the songs well and sings without inhibition. Livy was hidden to my view but I'm sure she hammed it up as well.
It was fun to do Addies hair and make-up with assistance from her older sisters. She has such a small face and different look than them Intersting to learn her lines and really study her features. Mark became a whole new man with eyebrows drawn on.
While we don't encourage a belief in Santa we don't deny the tale either. The kids were excited to share their hopes with him and gain a bag of candy. He was shopping in the grocery store last week. He really looks the part!
This was a big night for this super competitive daughter of mine. After all of Aliza's success she is anxious to make her mark. She did not disappoint. She memorized most of the play to assist her male co-stars and even spent the day running lines with an older boy so he could do well. She is organized, smart, generous, happy to help, and a hard worker.
The generous teacher who organized and directed the play this year. Mrs. Robertson was my 2nd grade teacher and it has been a blessing and delight to have her teach my children now. I'm so grateful for the staff's willingness to put on shows like this. I admire the parent organization that decorates and facilitates the production. I'm aware these will be some of their prized childhood memories. Christmas is a special time and one of my favorite times to dress up.
