This Was Awesome... Dress Rehearsal

That famous Annie overture. The curtain opens. And your baby has the first lines of the performance. I get the chills just thinking about it.



Especially when her first lines are, "mama mama mommy"



Oh and that spotlight on her.  It's just too cool for words.



"Shut your trap Molly"



"It's okay Molly, Annie's here"



"Blow"



"Maybe far away"  I got to watch her little eyes flutter closed and man is she ever good at faking sleep.





And I adored the silly scenes like her hiding in the laundry basket and her muffled voice, "nothin" when Miss Hannigan yells "what are you doin in there?"





"I love you Miss Hannigan"



Oh Abigail you are such an actress!



A quick costume change and she's in this scene.



Can you see her smile?  And those shoes she's wearing.  Adore.





But THIS song was such a joy to watch!  "You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile" And I love love love those shoes!











Oh this one!





A New Deal For Christmas 



"And oh what a fix, no peppermint sticks!"







I love this... because it's a dress rehearsal you can see my Dad walking back and forth in front of the stage.



And yes, this was only the dress rehearsal. But I love it so...
