Sam's 6th grade Musical - Back to the Manger

Our trip to Washington this fall was all about this young man and he was amazing.  Sam's had a part in his 6th Grade Musical, "Back to the Manger".  Isn't he the handsomest 40's young man you've ever seen?  He even had to wear a "mic" and had to wear makeup - we're talking big time theatrics here.

 

He did such an amazing job and we are so proud of him - he said the acting part went well but he's still not so keen on the singing part.  I went to his musical twice yesterday and we'll be going again tonight and my heart does a little flitter each time I see him come on stage.

 

 Sam's class has 80 children in it and they all fit on the stage. 

 The play involved this Time Machine which took the kids back to the church caroling party from 2015 to the 40's through the 80's.  The kids then sang and danced through each decade - their principal even came on stage and danced a little disco - GREAT show.

What a fun time we had and how proud we were that this young man is our grandson.  He was the best of the best.  Way to go, SAM!!!!

Couple of years ago, we bought this little "tree frog" for the tree in front of our house but the tree was too large so we brought it to Washington with us and he fit perfectly on this tree in DeAnn's front yard.  Isn't he cute?

Well, that's it from Washington.  We will be leaving here on Monday and should be back in eastern South Dakota soon after Thanksgiving.  Will be spending Thanksgiving in Sturgis with Peter's brother and his wife.

Happy Thanksgiving to all - what are you thankful for today?  I could do several posts on all I'm thankful for.  (Oh, that's right, I started doing just that but didn't get far.  May have to start in again when I return home.)  God has blessed us so richly in this past year - our cup is overflowing!!!!!

Love to all,
Gramma and MOM
