a splendid evening

for a musical!

the girls have been practicing since august for their church musical: back to the manger .  it begins in present day with a group of kids.  they accidentally turn on a time machine that takes them back in time.  here they are in the 50's singing away to some great tunes.

there's lia--dressed in a 50's style poodle skirt(made by my gram) singing away during her solo

 here's her back-up singer's

 still in the 50's--here's sofie or "young betty"

 this kid knew all her lines the first week she got her part

 of course the actresses need a fan club!!

 and here we are in the 80's with the totally rad boy band--the manger boys!!

 world war 2...

 and finally, all the way back to the manger!!  the reason we celebrate this special season--the birth of our precious savior--Jesus!

 these kids did a fantastic job

have you noticed the posters on the walls in the back of the stage?

they are now plastered all over lia's bedroom walls!!  cracks me up!
