Ema and Kylie participated in our Stake Play this time. They were very committed to the many practices and performances. Ema was a dancing Poppy and a Jitter-bug, with a lot of other kids her age.
Kylie got to be a "Munchkin". It took a lot of dedication but they both really enjoyed it and both were very sad when the last performance was over. These are the only pictures I got of them before their parts, because we were asked not to take pictures durring the performances, so I didn't. I do know people who I can get more pictures from though, I'm going to try to get more. 
I got to see it 3 times, once the first night with the mutual kids, then two more times because we had bake sales for girls camp.
If I had it to over again I would try to be more involved myself in things like this. My parents tried to encourage me but I was never very outgoing and hesitated at being in the spot light. I didn't participate in the dance festivals because I was afraid of who they would make me be a partner with. I disliked the road showes and just didn't want to be very involved.
Our kids were more involved because both Gene and I really regreted not being more involved our selves and they went along with our encouragement.
I know a family who's motto is . . . "Popes are Participators!" I love it, that is a great motto! I think we should all try to be more involved with life in general, it's way too short!!!
your girls are beautiful! we are proud of them and wish we could have been there to watch them perform.
