I loved the big numbers with the brothers and wives and I was seriously digging the red cowboy boots.
George and Anders.

Looking good, brothers!
I do not wish to speak ill of my friend, Michele Endemano, but she was a fat cow.
Ha ha ha! No really, she was a fat cow and Faith and Emma were skinny cows.
Faith had five different costume changes-- lots of little parts.
Here Faith is dream corn.
Clearly.
One of my favorite parts to watch was the swing dancers in the Pharoah number. They were hopping and bopping about and lifting and dropping and upside down and over the head and I was nervous, but I loved it at the same time. All four of these darlings are in our ward (church congregation).
A picture of the number...
A video of some of it...
Bethany and her adorable friend, Victoria. They had too much fun throughout the show.
...And a little too much fun after too show as well.
Some of my nieces and a nephew (Brig's kids) were in the show as well. So cute!
We had lots of family come out to see the show-- which was sold out three of the four performances.
The is the Cannon family contingency on Saturday night.
The Fox family (plus one stowaway Cannon family member:) on Saturday night as well.
Faith and her "Old Chum" Tristin both squeezing into the skinny cow costume.
Photo bombing credit goes to George.
I'm feeling the cousin love.
Bethany was so happy to have Connor and Candice and Terah come see the play Saturday night. She may or may not have been a little more nervous than usual. And there may have been an extra little wink directed up into the audience😉
As is usually the case, you get into the thick of rehearsals and you think, "WHY? Why did I think this was a good idea?" It takes so much time and it's always a bit chaotic leading into that final show week. But when it comes time for the actual show, it is so rewarding to be a part of something that brings us so much joy.
So we continue to be a part of these shows and we are so grateful for the opportunity.
This is the "Potiphar" number. You can see Faith-- she is second row, first in from the center gap on the left side. She has long, straight dark hair. When I first saw this number on Friday night I knew she was in it, and I was looking for her. I kid you not, I could not find her. I looked and looked through all the girls and couldn't spot her. When I finally figured out which one she was, I was shocked! What??!! That is my little Fai-Fai? She looked so grown up and beautiful!!! I swear she was just 9 years old like two months ago! How did it happen that Faith is finally growing up?
It was a huge cast on a relatively small stage. Not my favorite venue, but it worked and it was exciting! You can see George in this picture-- see the handrail on the bottom right? He has the dark hair just to the left of it.
Abe snapped this pic during the cast pictures-- the swing dancers again.
Show offs.
And what did I do while so many of them were in the show? I enjoyed watching the show.
With Elinor one day...
With Peter another day... (that wasn't as fun as it appears in the picture. Not fun at all. I thought he could handle it. I was wrong.)
I sneaked backstage and told them all how fabulous they were.
I got a two minute reprieve from Peter during intermission. Oh, he is so cute, but so determined and loud.
And now finally, I present you with the tale of Abe's beard. It grew in over the course of about four months. I liked it better than I thought I would. It began to get a little too bushy and scraggly. After the final performance Abe was more anxious that I was to see it go.
