The girls and I spent the weekend in NC with my mom, sisters, and their families. My mom was in charge of a pre-show at an opening night of a new outdoor amphitheater in her area. The pre-show included 2 songs by "Nana's Family & Friends" singing group along with some other singing and dancing groups.
We had been listening to the songs the previous whole week so Leland could learn the words. When we got to NC, she learned the motions and had it down after a few practices. She was so excited to "go on stage in front of the audience."All of the kids did so great during practice and dress rehearsal. Even the 2 year old cousins did well standing and singing during the practice, so we decided it would be okay for the actual show.
That may not have been the wisest decision. During the show, 2 year old Noah decided to do his own little routine. It was pretty funny, except when he decided to stomp on the floor microphones. We were all a little nervous that he may have damaged what the stage director said "to protect with our lives". Luckily he did not. 2 year old Emily surprised us all by going on stage and performing (see more pictures here). It was so cute to watch them all up there together.
