Yesterday morning we attended Ella's program. It's weird having two different programs to attend now that they are going on different days...and it's only the beginning I know. Ella did a great job!

I spent most of the afternoon loading set pieces from the show on flatbeds and unloading them at the warehouse. Thanks to Brian Randolph, Ed Rucker, Dee, and later, Kyle---things went quickly.

Last night we had Christmas with Kevin and Kiki before Sheryl and I headed to a Christmas dinner party at Gary Musick's house. As we were opening gifts with Kiki, Sam looked at his new Baby Einstein's DVD and said, plain as day, "Oooooh, my gooooodnessssss!" We about all fell out. It will be such a trip watching him enjoy Christmas this year!

Last night we had a special Christmas treat at Gary and Ellen Musick's house. It was beautiful and the food was incredible. I got to visit with some folks I hadn't seen in a while and met a woman who worked for Show Productions (they did all the different Six Flags theme park shows) AND Jean Ann Ryan Productions for Norwegian Cruise Line. We had a CRAZY conversation. Seems we kept missing being in the same cast by one show here or there. Weird. We knew a lot of the same people. We did some of the same shows...just before or after each other. We laughed at the sequin and gold suits for "Dance". It was just freaky talking to someone who's lived such a parallel life in some ways. It was a WONDERFUL night. Beautiful home, amazing family, great friends, hilarious stories, and did I mention the FOOD...Thank you, Gary and Ellen!! We love you!

Here are some pictures from Ella's big day!


Ella (middle) is all smiles ready to begin her program!


Ella and her class sing and get really into the hand motions.


Ella gets her moment with Santa. She'd been waiting for this for a while. (later, Santa helped me move set pieces to the warehouse...THANKS, SANTA!)
