I am not very creative when it comes to costumes. After much debating and looking around, I found a pilgrim costume on Amazon, so I just ordered it. She helped me with my make-shift hem (double sided sticky tape that you iron on). Never too early to teach my girl "how to sew." :) It turned out fine. I think she looked great!
Here she is with Sara, one of her best friends.
As Caroline, she was the "little girl". In the Bible, Jonah was on a boat. In this play, Jonah was on a stage coach. So this picture are the people on the stagecoach, including Caroline and her mom. Jonah is the guy in the black hat.
Actually caught a picture of her glancing our way. Perhaps this is when she said her line.
"Momma, the wind is really scary."
The kids did a great job!
After the play, I asked her if she was nervous or not. Here is our conversation, roughly :)
Me: Where your nervous? Or no?Ella: I wasn't at first. But then when I walked out there and I saw all of those people. The church was full of all of the parents and grandparents. That's when I got nervous.
Me: Well, what did you do?
Ella: I just thought, well, let's just pretend that no one is here. It's just us kids, and our teachers, and about 10 other people. That's it. Once I thought about that, I wasn't nervous anymore.
Me: Did you have butterflies in your tummy?
Ella: Butterflies?
Me: Ya know, when your tummy feels all fluttery? People call that the butterflies.
Ella: No, no butterflies. It was just like little bubbles in my tummy, that's all.
