And then what a surprise I got! About half of them were dressed as animals and birds, and Anne was an owl!! I could not see her face through the whole play! Thank goodness, at least I could see Ella's expressions. so here are some of the "animals".
And here is our little owl.
The kids had worked very hard, with guidance from stage directors.
Afterward there was a reception, and each child posted their artwork.
The children were wonderful! But about this idea of making them wear masks, I say NUTS!
Then he said, “How can I picture God’s kingdom for you? What kind
of story can I use? It’s like a pine nut that a man plants in his front yard. It grows into a huge
pine tree with thick branches, and eagles build nests in it.”

The two sweet girls have really grown.. good that they have each other for company there, sharing their interest in their play.. sooner or later they will grow up into beautiful teens.. the Cycle of Life.. but why called it Nuts? hmmmm....
what a treat to have them both in the same play. I bet it was fun for them too.
I agree!! Those sweet faces should be for all to see.
The girls are growing up!
Best,
Bonnie
How wonderful that they were both in the same play. I bet you all are so proud of them :-)
A prize should go to the event directors. They do an amazing job preparing these children for such a joyful event.
Great shots.
I agree on the nuts to the masks. at least remeove them sometime but this is really cute and a great idea and so good for them to learn to be on stage.. building character for sure. they both look adorable and I can see Ann behind her mask... she is quite the artist isn't she..
How wonderful they were in the same FUN play.
Looks like Ella is enjoying performing! Too bad the mask was hiding Anne's face but she sure is a cute owl :-)
It looks like a fun play and the masks are cute, but I agree that the faces are so much cuter and should be uncovered part of the time!
It is so much fun to watch the kids in their programs as they grow up...:)JP

Oh Ginny, how exciting that both girls were in the same play. Ella and Anne Marie are both so beautiful (even in the mask Anne's beauty shines through). Anne makes the cutest owl I have ever seen.
Hi Ginny, Such an honor and great fun to be a part of a play - even if masked during the show. Your little Owl is a real cutie and very talented! I'll be back to blogging on my own site the first of July. Have a really fine rest of the week!
How fun to see them both in the same play. They are precious girls and I know you are so proud of them!
Looks like a fun play! I love it when the kids get to dress up in costumes. Re my fence. Not purple, it's weathered wood. It was late evening with a storm approaching, thus the color.
The children must have enjoyed that play as much as the adults did.
How fortunate they were in the same play. I agree about the masks. We grandmothers want to see those dear faces, Did Anne like appearing in her owl mask!
