It's that time again...

Well, it's that time again...when the weather begins to change, that is the first hint that it's time to prepare for the annual family talent show. This is year 22! It's hard to believe that Brittney started in the show when she was 4!!! The show has produced so many memorable performances. Most of the family has gone out of their way to bring a bit of laughter to the many coworkers, friends and extended family members that join us each year.


Sadly the timetable for this annual event is winding down. We have decided that year 25 will be our family show "swan song" and we will end our family tradition bringing back some of our favorite acts. This year will mark the first that Brittney will not be in the cast, her pregnancy will keep her on the sidelines and the lack of her presence has already been felt.

I get the same question every Friday..."What are you doing this weekend?" Until Saturday 12/17/2011 my response can only be REHEARSAL, REHEARSAL...REHEARSAL! Never in the history of my family is there more universal stretching, bones cracking and laughter than at Sunday finale rehearsal. As Brittney has opted out this year, yours truly is once again putting on her choreography hat again. WISH ME LUCK :- )

Brittney and Kalyn did a fantastic job on the finale last year. Rhythm Nation came off without a hitch. It took a minute for us all to get on the right foot and move our hips in the same direction, but we all pulled together to get it done.

I love this time of year. Busy, busy, busy...tired, tired, tired... So Much Fun!
