Variety Show Success

After six weeks of practice, Violet's big moment came Friday evening, when she took part in the school variety show.

The show was set up so well, with decorations and the performer's head shots up on the walls. We didn't know the photos even happened, so it was a fun surprise to see her beautiful smiling face on the wall.

When it was Violet's turn, the student emcee read out her biography.










Then, the curtain opened, and Violet stood there, staring at the audience, apparently taking it all in. She looked so, so cute, with her small stature, pink sparkly dress, and big smile.

She started skipping rope, and called out her little song:
"Coca Cola went to town,
Diet Pepsi knocked him down.
Dr Pepper fixed him up.
Now I'm drinking Seven-Up.
Seven-Up caught the flu,
Now I'm drinking Mountain Dew.
Mountain Dew fell off the mountain,
Now I'm drinking from the water fountain!"

Violet got through the entire rhyme without missing a beat, and was loud enough to be heard without a mic. She did an amazing job! Stace and I both had tears in our eyes, seeing our little thing be so brave and perform so well.

Turn up your volume and enjoy the video - many thanks to my friend Sara for most of these photos, and for the video clip!

Sara's daughters Emily and Alli had the whole audience laughing with their hilarious performance of "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better."

All in all the show was very, very entertaining and all the kids did a great job.
