HARRY POTTER and the SLEEP OVER at AUNT MARISA'S


Finally, the much anticipated Harry Potter movie swept thru Idaho Falls like a tornado!! A few of my siblings are big fans - mem not so much. So, I got to have a sleep over with all my nieces and nephews!! And we had a blast! We started the evening out with the smaller kids upstairs watching Bolt. Look at them sitting so nicely watching the movie!! I thought to myself, "see, they are so good! There's nothing to it!"




And the girls were downstairs getting their forts built so they could watch "Princess Protection Program." Come on Jess, give me a smile!

Soon after the first ten minutes of the movie, the kids decided it would be funner to PLAY Bolt instead of watch it. Then somehow, it turned into the Star Wars droids that were after them!! Oh the imagination of kids! I love it!

OK, does it get any cuter than this?!! Look at Tyler!! TOTAL CONCENTRATION!!

JOSEPH, and the AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT

Hannah had the opportunity to be in the children's chorus for this production. A lady in our ward is very involved in the community theatrical stuff and came to our house back in February to see if Hannah would like to try this type of thing. Well, the rest is history. Hannah had a blast! She would sing the songs in the shower, on the way to the store, at the dinner table. I don't know how many times she showed us the dances. It was so much fun to watch her learn and love it. On opening night when the curtain opened and I saw her up there on the stage, my eyes filled with tears! I was so proud of her and so excited that she was getting to experience that! There's a proud moment for this momma!

Hannah sold so many tickets and got one for free. She immediately informed me that the ticket was for Jessica to come to the show. So closing night, Jess was able to see the show.

Hannah was part of the tribe of LEVI, but her favorite brother was Benjamin!

These were the narrators. Hannah became pretty fond of them both. They had beautiful voices and did a great job. Something about genetics makes the voices blend and create a sound that you can't get anywhere else. It was fun to listen to them.

Here's Hannah with the "Pharoah" and the lady from our ward Lynne Mitchell. Hannah thought that the pharaoh was hot!!

And here she is with the star of the show, Joseph. He had a fantastic voice. What a pleasure it was to listen to him. Hannah got to be right next to him in a couple of the scenes!! He called her Hannah Banana.
