It's a Wonderful Life

Alex was in his school play, "It's a Wonderful Life". They performed 3 nights (Dec 1-3). He played the part of Uncle Billy. He had a great time because some of his friends were also in the play.  They had a big cast.  Our next door neighbor is the drama teacher, so she keeps Alex involved in the plays as much as possible.  Eric and I were able to go to 2 out of the 3 performances, and it was amazing!  One of the nights, we took the kids, and they thoroughly enjoyed it too.  They had big crowds every night.  Just one of the nights, they had more people there than all 3 of their nights together at the last play!  It was a great success! (Watch for Alex in the red sweater vest and bowtie). He was the comic relief in the play.  My favorite scene of his was when he taunted and harrassed Mr Potter about the Bailey Boys.  He was hilarious.  You'd think he'd had experience harrassing and teasing or something...  What else are siblings for?  But seriously, we were very proud of his effort.  (By the way, all credit for the pictures goes to Paula Peek whose daughter was Alex's wife in the play) My camera wouldn't take a thing in the dark.
