Lita gave The Girl and The Niece a most excellent gift for Christmas this year. She enrolled them in weekly acting classes at a local theatre here in town. Their class was based on myths and legends and the kids collectively picked two plays to learn and perform together for an end of session performance. Not only did this mean that these two cousins got to see each other every weekend for 3 months, but they also got to learn about myths together while acting them out! Double win! We went and watched them perform their plays a couple of days ago on the stage of the theater. I couldn't have been prouder of those two girls. At their age, I would have been paralyzed by stage fright. They may have been nervous...I don't know...but you never would have known it it they were. They both seemed so comfortable on stage, delivering their lines with ease and humor. It was so nice that the whole fam damily came out to watch the girls. Needless to say, we were beaming!
