Dress Rehearsal

Hey everyone!

Tuesday we had a dress rehearsal that was videotaped. Then Tuesday night after play practice, Ali, Zack and I slept over at the Seibels' house. Wednesday we went to play practice with them and had another dress rehearsal. Some people were invited to watch. Tonight we are doing our first play performance. I'm getting a little nervous, not really though. I only seem to get nervous when we get there and when people start to get there. Tonight everyone in my family (except for Dad and Anja) are going to meet my Dad's Dad and Mom early at Culvers. I can't wait until then. Then I think that Ali, Zack and I are going to the church early to get ready.

GTG,

Hey!

Friday night my gramma (Mom's Mom) and step-Grampa came and surprised Emmy, Grace and Elsie (the rest of us knew they were coming). Our Aunt Jana and cousin Austin also came. Ali and I didn't know that they were coming. Ike and Zack knew because Dad told them they might be coming. It was so fun!!! They left today at about 1:00. Saturday afternoon Gramma Jackie, Mom, Jana, Ali and I went to a chiropractor, went out to eat at Old Country Buffet, and shopped at Half Price Books and TJ Maxx. It was a lot of fun!! But they were only able to stay for about 1 1/2 days. That was sad, but it was fun for the time we had with them. I can't wait until we can see them again.

The play date is getting so close!! I can't wait until the play performances start. Everyone knows their lines better. We did the play with our costumes once, but that is it. On Monday the director wants to run through the play 2 times. I hope we can wear our costumes then.

Gotta run,
Love,
Aleks

Quick update.

Hey everyone. How's everyone doing?

Yesterday Ali's friend came from Kansas. She is staying till Sunday.

I can't believe that on Monday we are doing the play act 1 and act 2 on the real stage!! Props and everything. I don't know if we are going to use are costumes or not. We are going to find out who is going to take props off when and where. The real shows are less then 2 weeks away! The people that are playing the prince and the pauper didn't have all of they're lines memorized for the practice on Wednesday. On Monday no one can have scrips! On Monday we have to be at practice at 9. So we have to leave at 7:45 (we live about one hour away).


Love,
Aleks

P.S. I'll try to give you a update on where and when the plays are.
