The Spelling Bee and the Nutcracker

It's beyond me how James and I, who avoid an audience, ended up with 4 girls who love one! 
Last night, we watched Marissa and Daniella in the children's musical The Christmas County Spelling Bee at church.  Since we know they don't get it from us, is it okay to brag?  LOL.  That Marissa has a beautiful voice.  She had 2 solos, which were both good, but the last one left me speechless.  She was also the main speaker of the play and did a *terrific* job.  She had a ton of lines to memorize, plus acting them out with gusto!  : )

Daniella did great, too.  She had a solo, and sang out loud and clear (we have some speech issues), had some lines, and as a contestant in the spelling bee, she remembered the spelling of some hard words for her~ fortress and restore.  She was so cute doing all the little dance moves.  She was also a cheerleader.


Here are pictures of Briana in the Nutcracker last weekend.  It was so good, and I got to go to 3 performances.  I love to watch her dance.

Party Scene.  Love the wig?
