When I was pregnant with Ainsley I use to pray that she would have a beautiful singing voice. My Dad was a professional singer, and I have always loved listening to gifted vocalists... Unfortunately, I did not get that gift passed on to me like my siblings. So, we were very excited when Ainsley decided to try out for a solo part in her school's Christmas play. She did a wonderful job! A true pro at the microphone, just like her Grandpa!!

The Pearl's Christmas concert was a huge success!  The kids did such a great job!  I loved the story, and the music!  Her Rubiness loved it so much that she kept trying to climb over the chair in front of her.  It would have been cute, if she hadn't been bothering a Mom trying to videotape her son!!!  I gracefully took her out for a while!  We came back for the finale!  As the final applause was happening,  Her Rubiness escaped, and sauntered up to sit with Ainsley's class on the risers!  She gave her big sister a huge hug for a job well done right there for all to see!  Thankfully, the show was over.  It really was a priceless moment!  All of the kids in Ainsley's class adore Ruby, so they thought it was great that she joined in.  Ruby just exited stage right with the rest of the kids!  We found her later with Ainsley and her friends at the post show reception!  It was such a fun night!!
