This past weekend, Annah performed in her first high school musical. She absolutely loved the entire experience. I took photos before/during/after the dress rehearsal on Thursday and the shows on Friday and Saturday.
These are a few of my favorites of Annah...
The school provided low cost meals for the cast each evening of the week and show nights. It was such a blessing!
I had volunteered to help with hair and makeup, but was pretty sick all week and thought I should not be in the kids' faces. They had lots of great help without me, thankfully.
All dressed up and made up and ready for dress rehearsal--Allison, Addie, and Annah.
The actors:
Brandon, Daniel, Tyler, Ryan, Taylor, Katherine, Katie,
Kaitlyn, Michael, Allison, Tristan, Jacob, Addie, Keegan, Annah
Since it is such a small cast, many of them played multiple parts. They are all so talented and very dedicated to making it a great show!

Emotion party
Sara and Kristy joined us in the front row to watch the show!
Caeden was the first to get to his big sis for a hug after the show, and Sylvia was second in line!
Annah didn't know how to defend her character's infatuation with her daughter's fiance.

The dress she wore as Carol Strong was Addie's great grandma's dress, which she wore to her son's wedding. Addie's grandma brought a picture of her wearing it so we could see!
Props are placed, and it's almost time for curtain!

Annah LOVED being part of the musical and had so much fun working on it for the past couple months. She is so sad it's over, but so thankful for the opportunity to be part of it!
