Last night after many weeks of practices our church had its showing of "It all happened in the Country." It was a children's play to remind us all of the reason for the season, Christ's birth. After one week of having the script Jessica, aka Cora May, not only had all her lines memorized she had EVERY ONES lines memorized. Not that she didn't make her mistakes during practices because she did. Jessica has been saying for a couple of years now that she wants to be a star, on the stage or on TV. I figured it was because of Hannah Montana. So we'll see. She did fabulous. She even had a solo and even though I could see she was nervous and fidgety I think she did very well. Jeremy was also in this play as Uncle Yule. He also had a solo. He was fine during all the practices then on Friday he got a major case of the butterflies. On Sunday night as he kissed me good-bye he said "I think I am going to be sick" Thanks dear next time tell me that BEFORE you kiss me. But he did so good. He was the only one who had a goof but from my understanding it wasn't all his fault. Someone mixed up their lines and it threw him off. Better then what I would have done. I would have froze the second the lights came on and not said anything. Little Luther, a young gentle men in our church, took the show with his perfect hick accent and too small overalls. He was made for the part. And Chelsea and Daniel were perfect as city kids who learned about the real meaning of Christmas and learned the country ain't so bad. One little girl who was a country girl that told a little bit of the story as a narrator did so well I can't wait to see her get a major part next time. I think my two little country folk are very brave for getting in front of friends, family, and strangers last night. I am proud of them.
