"She is our Sunshine!"

Ella made her theatrical debut last night in the Prairie Center Elementary 1st grade musical "NUTS."

They were adorable and really practiced hard. Just look at the first first song of the night, "The Circle of Life." They had so much fun! (I had to link through YouTube, because the files are just too large for the blog!



This show had a fox, a bear, a raccoon, a chicken, a duck, dozens of nuts, rain, clouds, a tree, and the sun... guess where Ella landed? Yep, our little sunshine was the sun! That's why she look so bright mixed in with all the other wildlife on stage.

Most of the kids had one line in the show... Here is Ella's line from Troy's cell phone:



And her song, just check out our little Vanna White!!! I was so proud, and look at those strong arms! (I guess the acro class is paying off)




The music teacher made her prop, but she asked if we could bring it home and "glam it up," which we did. Throw on some gold glitter glue and a few leftover rhinestones from her dance costume.. and voila! the sun shines!!!

I was so proud of her, really of all of them. This was a fun show! Max was mesmerized through the whole thing and gave people dirty looks when they clapped like "hey, my sister and her friends are doing something, hush up!" Alex laughed at every single joke, so loudly, that people around us were laughing at him.! It was preschool humor at it's best I guess... but we all had a great time!
