Happy Thanksgiving!

November 25, 2021

This year we are having the Tanners and the Araque family over for Thanksgiving dinner! The girls helped with the set up:

Lizzy even made a fancy menu!:

We had to set up in the gym to fit everyone:

Sullivan did a great job on the food!

The Tanners brought there rolls and fiesta bean salad and Franklin brought a ham.

We were all assembled and ready for the feast!

Don’t forget about the pies:

We had a very nice time with our friends enjoying Thanksgiving!

Art Show and Theatre Performance!

November 6, 2021

Rachel had a table for her very first art show (this is the art show that Joy puts on each year).

All the artwork on the table and the piece in front of the table were all created by Rachel over the past several years (this does not include the paintings hanging up behind her, those belong to the artists on either side of Rachel).

She sold several paintings but for some reason the rocks drew a lot of attention:

Several people later commissioned Rachel for painted rocks (large and small) and even some specialty pavers.

Rachel also started a Facebook Marketplace page, “Little Miss Art Shop”, with her artwork for sale and has sold many more paintings there. We are so proud of you Rachel!!

On the exact same day Lizzy had a theatre performance of, “High School Musical”. So we spent a couple of hours with Rachel and headed to the show:

That’s Lizzy sitting at the piano.

She played the part of Kelsi Nielsen (a supporting character), a songwriter and composer and student at East High. She is very introverted and is very intimidated by Sharpay Evans, the president of the school’s drama department. By the end of the show Kelsi overcomes her shyness and takes on a pivotal role in the plot.

It was a great performance!

Lizzy enjoyed her character and played her part very well!

After the show we all went back to the art show for Rachel! Whew, what a day!
