Final Curtain Call

Okay so here after long last are a million and one pictures of Maddy's play. And don't worry I still have lots more! They aren't in any particular order and most of them are from the first half of the dress rehearsal because that was all I was there for.
Maddy and the director.
Maddy and her play brother John. He was the sweetest boy. He treated her like she was his little brother on stage and just helped her everywhere and was always protecting her. I think that she got a taste of what it would have been like to have an older brother because he was constantly calling her midget. And he even got her a special Michael pin after the play was over.Josey was there just as much as Maddy and she made some fun friends as well.





It was so fun to have so many friends and family come and support her and make her feel even more special. This is a little friend from her class that came. He brought her a bouquet of flowers a stuffed animal and picked out a few toys back in the concession stand! He is the same boy that showered her with gifts on Valentines day.

Maddy and grandma Beth.
Lilly playing with her glow wand from the concession stand.
Josey picked out Captain Hook accessories. Please ignore the scary man in the background.
And Lilly liked those as well! Here she is giving us her mad face.

One of Maddy's good friends.

Another good friend from school.Getting "a talking too" from Captain Hook.
Her first flight up into the air in the play.
Getting tucked in.

Her biggest fans......seriously!


At one point Peter Pan goes and gets people in the audience to come up and crow with him on stage. This was during the dress rehearsal and Josey got to go up and was SO excited.




This way to Neverland.

Probably the only dog Maddy is ever going to have.



Well it is over and a little bit bitter-sweet. I am glad that I am not spending every spare moment up at that theatre anymore and that Maddy isn't up till midnight every other night. But it was a lot of fun and such a special experience for her. She just cried and cried when it was over because she didn't want it to end and she was going to miss everyone and I can't blame her. We are looking forward to doing the one next year. They are doing Cinderella and Josey is already practicing her audition! So grandmas and grandpas start looking for tickets?! jk
