Seriously need to re-think my December activities. Once again, it was a bit over-whelming. We had softball to finish up, piano recitals, Annie rehearsal/shows, and of course Chris was gone for 11 days of the month--this time in Austia/Germany for the 200th anniversary of the "Silent Night" hymn. Live and learn and boy have I this year:)
Tatum had another great softball season playing for Coach Scott & Chris on the Diamond Queens team. These girls are a tight-knit little group. They had a great season. We were "thinking" the season was wrapping up early this year for several reasons--fewer games, more fields, etc...but we were just WRONG! The season went clear into mid-December which really put poor Tatum in a rough spot with both her softball teammates and her Annie cast. Somehow (LOTS of prayers) everything worked out just fine. Tatum was able to be there for her team who took 3rd place overall AND not miss a single show for Annie. But believe me...I lost a LOT of sleep over things totally out of my control on this.
So on to Annie--Tatum was cast as an orphan and Max was "Bert Healy." The show came together amazingly well and these two sure enjoyed being a part of it.

I had 25 tickets to this show and with Chris being gone the entire first weekend of shows, I had to get creative to get all my tickets used! So I took Hayden C. with me one night and then 5 of Tatum's teammates with me another night!

| Miss Hannigan is Hayden's most FAVORITE character in the show! |
The Diamond Queens:
 |
| Chloe V., Laila, Marlee, Riley, & Chloe M. |
 |
| Everyone LOVES Miss Hannigan!!! |
 |
| Miss Askins is Max & Tatum's biggest fan! She never misses their shows! |
 |
| This is a Zoni judge who was really impressed with Max. He spent a lot of time talking to him after the show. |
Max had the opportunity to double as "Rooster" one night. Remi was also asked to step in a "Lily St. Regis" for this same performance. This duo did AMAZING!!! Max was really nervous about it but ended up having soo much fun in this role along side his Bert Healy role--that was an exhausting night for sure!
So another fantastic AYT show in the books. Way to go Max & Tatum. You guys handled the pressures of this month (softball schedules/rehearsals/extra roles) with such dignity, poise, and grace. I am super proud of the both of you! Love you guys to the MOON!!!
