Thoroughly Modern Millie

Dearest friends and family (my whole 3 readers),

Here are some pictures from when I was in Thoroughly Modern Millie.
 If you think you're chic, unique, and quite adorable!
 
Getting fancy! 

 Feeling modern

We rolled these desks around for the stenographer scenes

Sincere Trust! 

Reading to start tapping 

Speakeasy fun; it's my turn for a drink! Prohibition, what?

Clearly I look very upset about being sent to jail 

Megan: Get over here, Brynne! Me: Naw, I'd rather hang out with the high school boys. 

I wasn't going to put this one up because I look so ridiculous. You're welcome! 

The happiest drunks you ever did meet 

Dancing with Jimmy 

 No jail for this girl!

No worries, Megan. I've got my own guy at home. Jimmy's all yours! 

 Feeling sassy!

Being fancy! 

Still having fun 

Everybody do the locomotion!

Dorothy Parker 

Saying one of my few lines....soy sauce! AAAAAHHHHHH!

Serious stenogs tap dance 

 My big dance solo

Clickity Clack 

 Miss Flannery is getting ready to try and show me up

 I'm game! Let's compete.

Hmm, let's try some toe stands. 

Mission accomplished. It was fun to have some time in the spotlight. 

Forget about the boy! 

Cut the cord. Ain't that the man I once adored. He's nothing but albatross, no great loss, double crosser! Forget about the boy. 

Everything today is thoroughly modern!
 
I hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Christmas time is here!

Christmas is officially in fully swing at the Foster house! We decided to do it the old fashioned way by cutting down a tree in the mountains. It was Josh's first time chopping down a tree. Woohoo for living next to the mountains! It was quite the fun adventure. Yeah, we may have gotten stuck because we didn't know that some of the roads up there hadn't been plowed, but we made it through and got a nice tree. Beth was visiting and joined us on this adventure. Sometimes pictures do a better job of telling the story than words…

Josh was very happy to be in the snow!

 Beth looking so cute. Also, our tree is cute!

 I had to include this one because I love this man so much!

 We took care to wrap our tree for the ride home

I think my santa shirt helped us find a beautiful tree!

 Josh did most of the work

I was quality control

 So sad Josh's eyes were camera shy on this one. No he's not crazy for being in short sleeves. We all got hot hauling that tree to the car.

We have a perfect corner for our tree. Plus, it was the perfect height!

 Getting started

Lights are serious business!

 A little blurry, but you get the idea!

 Colored bulbs this year

A Christmas kiss 

 We love Bethy!

The finished product!

We really had so much fun cutting down and decorating our tree. We are so glad Beth came to enjoy Thanksgiving with us! Merry Christmas, everyone!

Welcome!

Hi y'all! Glad you made it to the new blog. It's a work in progress, but I'm looking forward to keeping everyone updated. A real post with pictures is forthcoming!

p.s. Once again I'm a human popsicle. We've been in the negatives lately. Would someone please turn the heater on?
