The choir show: Starry, Starry Night

Lilly was in her very first Cherub Choir musical this weekend.  She was a chicken...can't you tell with those bright yellow feathers!?  (All the chickens were supposed to wear white dresses or something white). 

In my opinion (and a few agree with me) Lilly stole the show.  Her smile was priceless.  It was like she was flirting with Will for the first part of the show because she kept smiling at him and reacting to him enjoying the show.  She yawned two times in the second part, I think.

You can watch the whole thing (broken into two parts below for a total of about 30 minutes).  You can also just watch a few short clips of Lilly "singing" along. 



Here's a video of Lilly entering the stage at the beginning of the show.



Here's a video of the opening number.




Sophia, was Mary's donkey named Clip Clop, and she had a 5 speaking lines that she aced!  Sophia was supposed to wear either brown, black or grey and they were all supposed to wear Sunday dresses so we had to go with black because that's all she had in the color palette.  It's not my favorite dress at all, but she really likes it for some reason and she was comfortable in it..  She wore a fringe mane in her ponytail as her costume, but you couldn't see it at all.

The night before the show as I was tucking Sophia into bed she admitted that she had stage fright and I could tell she was going to work herself up into some sort of whiny cry.  I told her that there was NO WAY she could possibly have stage fright because nobody gets it the night before!  Impossible!  -- She actually believed me.

The morning (Sunday) of the show came and went and she never mentioned another word about stage fright.

But, I have to say, she really did her part great.  So many ladies told me that she did a great job when I was at a meeting earlier this morning.  I'm so proud of her!  And I'm proud of Lilly too, especially because she doesn't care much for Cherub Choir and actually complains that she doesn't like it.

Just yesterday she and I talked about her taking a drawing class or some sort of art class.  She's always coloring and stenciling and drawing on things, including closet doors!









This is PART ONE of the show taken by my friend Jen.  Her children were two of the cows if you can't tell, but those are the girls that Sophia recites her lines with.



This is PART TWO
