A Christmas Carol

As many of you know, we've been crazy enough this Christmas season to have all been in our community theatre's production of "A Christmas Carol". With all the hustle of the season, it does seem crazy to spend countless hours rehearsing and performing a show when we could be getting ready for Christmas, but actually it has truly reminded us of the reason for the season itself. The message of the play is such a touching one, and we are so glad that we have been able to share that message with others. Aaron reprised his role of Bob Crachit. He played that same character two years ago. Shenna, Kiera and I all played Belle's family (I was Belle) and Samuel played the boy whom Scrooge asks about the turkey. Enoch was a village boy and also played "ignorance".The whole family after the second to last performance on SaturdayWaiting with the other members of the cast in the green room for the show to start. It was so crowded in there!

Enoch was the only one of us who had a costume change. Here he is with makeup and hair done in the dressing room just before he went on as "Ignorance" He is really trying to look neglected and sad. On a funny note, during rehearsal, the director kept having to tell Enoch to be sad because no matter what, he kept smiling in the ignorance scene. He just was sooo excited to be on stage!

Some Family Pics!

Yep, here are a few attempts at a family picture.

The kids would have rather been playing. A matter of fact, Aaron would have rather been playing as well.

I wonder what everyone is thinking?.......
