A Little Star is Born!

Brielle was in her first 'big show' at the beginning of the month...and when I say big show I am in NO WAY exaggerating...it was a 3 hour show, performed 3 nights and she was in 8 dances (each night) which meant 8 costume changes! She started dancing with the Colleen Collins Smith dance company in January and it has not been an easy road...but she stuck with it and she has learned so much!
I really like this dance group because it is more 'song & dance' which gives it more of a 'broadway musical' feel...it is SO adorable to watch Brielle dance while singing these songs...here she is ready for 'Jig Jag' from Thoroughly Modern Milly (I thought of you every time Sara!)'Mr Piano Man, Please' (ragtime song, sung by Disney Mouseketeer Annette Funicello--whom I love)'Munchkin Land' from 'Wizard of Oz''Shirley Temple's trademark song 'On the Good Ship Lollipop' Unfortunately I did not get pictures of her in all her costumes...'76 Trombones' from 'Music Man' - 'Hello Dolly' - 'Thank Heavens for Little Girls' - 'It's Time to Raise the Curtain'...but they were all adorable! If you need to know the lyrics to ANY of these 8 songs...feel free to ask us...we all know them by heart...Chris can even show you most of the dance moves! Dean did not get to come...but he wanted to be in the pictures that we took before we left. Can you believe how long Brielle's eyelashes are with mascara on them?! They are amazing! She was so funny, she kept saying...'Whoa, I look scary with all this makeup on!'
