Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

It was more than spectacular, to use the vernacular - a brilliant, amazing show!


Jackson and Luke on stage with the before "Chitty" car - Don't they look handsome in their knickers?  Thanks to Yommy for making his knickers!

Jackson in front of the new and improved "Chitty" car.

Jackson in his "sewer" child outfit backstage.  Cocoa powder works great to make a dirty stage face.

Closer up of the kids



Most of my time backstage was spent "wrangling" the girls.  Here they are applying their dirt and messing up their hair for Act II.



Curtain Call - Take a bow!

The Fans... 
(We are so blessed to have so many people that love and care for our little man - Thanks again!)
Aunt Kay and Uncle J.R. drove in from Vernon to see him - so sweet!  Debbie, Danny, Yommy, Papa, Mom and Dad wouldn't have missed it for the world and Kendall loved it, too!  Of course she knew all the songs thanks to Bubba.  Debbie and Yommy came Friday night as well.
 
Mrs. Sevigny and Makayla came Saturday afternoon.  I missed getting a picture of Andrea, Taylor, Austin, Matthew and Mammers :(  Mammers and Mrs. Sevigny came Friday night also!

Saturday Night - Uncle Timothy and Aunt Jessica came down from Amarillo to watch and brought along Jessica's mom - Mrs. Robbins!  Daddy came again Saturday night while Yommy and Papa watched Kendall.  HaPpY BiRtHdAy, Jessica - thanks for spending part of your birthday weekend with us!

Mrs. P's mom surprised her with a visit from Waco so she brought her to the show!  What a loved little boy we have!

Signing Debbie's playbill...

and Aunt Kay's...

And Jacks signing Yommy's.  He really enjoyed giving his autograph!



Playbill ad from us...



And one from his teacher.  Way too nice and unexpected!  Jackson's ears turned bright red when he read it - he was so excited!

The cast...
(Can't say enough great things about each of these people.  So talented and super nice!)

And last but not least - The hair...

Just in time for Baseball to begin!

He was a very tired little boy after the third show Saturday night!  Thanks to everyone for the "Good Luck"s, "Break a Leg"s and well wishes!  We are very proud of him and the whole cast and crew!  It was an amazing experience he will never forget!

Verse of the day - "Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!" Psalm 150:4

Blessings,
Kelli
