Taking Our Show on the Road




Mackensie has been performing in quite a few shows, lately. We go to a wonderful church, with a wonderful youth program. They give the kids lots of opportunities to get involved and show their skills. This hasn't always worked for us in the past - I'm sure everyone remembers last year's Christmas show that involved Mackensie running from stage to audience a record number of times and ultimately taking and throwing one of the necklaces meant for baby Jesus. I was going to keep her out of the play this year just to be on the safe side -- Mac is a great performer, but a bit unpredictable in the behavior department. However, they asked her to be in it, so it's on them. In the meantime (I suppose gearing up to the holiday performance), Mac has sung in two different church performances over the last three weeks. The picture is from the first performance, in full choir get up. The video clips are from this past Sunday. It was a surprise to me and Mac -- we had no idea she was going to sing. But she picked up the words quickly, and gave it her all. One of the other parishioners even said she was the "most enthusiastic." Check out clip number 3, "The Finale" for her most enthusiastic performance.
