A Play to remember

Well, the big weekend finally came.  Kenni’s play.  It seems like a million years ago (back in September) that she auditioned, and has been practicing away ever since.  The play, “Thumbelina”, was put on by the Castle Valley Acting Company, and written by their director, Caitlin Iverson, and I must say, for such a tiny budget, she did a great job.  Kenni thought this was the most fun thing she has ever participated in, and I’m sure more acting is in her future.

We were  so lucky to have some friends and family who wanted to come down and see the big show.  (I was a little worried because it was actually NOT a big show- major low budget and small-scale production, but everyone was so nice & said what a good job Kenni did)

Friday night Grandma Lesli came and brought the kids cousins Bella, Ben & Evie to see the show.

Saturday night Kenni’s friends Taylor, Haylie and Aly came with their mom’s, Liz & Michelle.  This really meant a lot to Kenni.  She was so excited to have so much support!

Isn’t this the sweetest?  The girls made cards for Kenni.  They are one in a million friends!

Here are a few more pics from the play:

After the show Saturday night, we went out for ice cream to celebrate Haylie’s birthday. It was the week earlier and Kenni didn’t get to see her on her actual day.

(Don’t mind Kenni’s racoon eyes.  She has not yet perfected the art of wearing makeup.)

Since Hay-bug, Tay-tay, and Ali all have December birthdays, we had presents for all three. We let them all open them so that the girls could have a proper matching-pj’s slumber party.  Like, oh my gosh!

It was a really fun (really exhausting!) weekend from beginning to end.  Thank you to everyone who supported us, it really meant a lot!!!
