Firstborn From the Dead Pics

The kids had the amazing opportunity to be part of the "Firstborn from the Dead" Saturday and Sunday. Pictures could not even begin to convey the power of this story of Christ's life, death and resurrection. Wow!

"Glory in the Highest" - Kiah was an angel (I'm of the opinion she still is!)

"Holy"

"Holy"

Saturday was a LONG day for the five "Boys Athletic Movement" boys -- and for me as the rehearsal stage mom. We were there from 10 am to 10:00 p.m. I was stage mom from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 pm. The boys were great all things considered. My patience only thinned toward the end... :o)

Before the show...

Small room - lots of fun!

A goofy moment.

Here is part of Judson's piece. Those little guys were SOOO cute! He was in another scene, too, but we didn't get that one on video. We did order the DVD...

Here's one of Mikiah's pieces. This is the garden scene before the crucifixion. The video does not convey the intensity of this scene. It was so cool! Mikiah was a "Pharitree"...

Mystery of Christmas 2008!

The American!

The Russian...

Pics/Video from Mikiah's Ballet Parent Presentation

Every other spring, instead of doing a big performance, Dramatic Truth does a parent presentation. Parents watch part of a normal class, and then the class performs a piece they have been working on. It is informal, but a lot of fun. In the video, the girls are divided into two groups at the start. The first group has been at this level for one year, the second group is testing this summer to go to the next level (pointe - ouch!). Mikiah is in the second group. At the beginning she is in the far back corner, but eventually moves to closer to the camera...
