The Great Pumpkin Roll 2016

So what if it's raining... All the pics are here.

Thanksgiving 2016

Braised ribs (Lexi loved 'em), gramma's rolls, 7-layer salad with plenty of dressing, rainbow jello, garlic mashed potatoes, and a turkey (wait for it...). Nothing like cooking with the kids. And we got started on the Christmas window. Very thankful... More pics here.

And then it's gone

Months of work to get to the audition. Months of work from cast members, crew members, production team, etc. And two weekends of a fabulous run. And here we are. It's over. I've been through this enough times now to know that there really is such a thing as post-show blues. And this was a big deal for Annie. The biggest. Things are gonna be a little quiet around the house until the next audition pops up on the horizon.

Below are a few final photos gleaned mostly from Facebook and friends.

Here are previous sets of Annie photos: She gets the role, At the AG Library, Load-In, Final Dress, 4th Show of the run.

Cousins!

And poof, it was gone.

My favorite moment in the show was when
Daddy Warbucks carried a sleeping Annie
off stage. Here the two wait for their cue.

4th Annie Jr show is done

All of a sudden half the run is over! What a fabulous ride it's been so far! The kids are doing extraordinarily well, and the sell-out crowds are reacting appropriately. Here are some photos from today. The rest of today's photos are here.

You could count 4 generations in this show,
At least 3 and a half.

Final Dress

Tonight was final dress rehearsal for Annie Jr (depending on how you categorize the preview show tomorrow night). Anyway, things are taking shape nicely, and all our girls (Nana, Tracy, Serafina, and Sandy) are doing well. Thanks to Gregg Wolff and Tracy Waitkus Photography for these shots from tonight's rehearsal.
