Pictures from Jack & The Beanstalk

I remember driving to the first play practice, Hannah was very excited because it was her first play and she saw how much fun Hayley had doing Lil Red. I overheard them talking about how much fun they were going to have together...they were giddy with excitement and this just melted my heart! I remember Hayley telling Hannah she was so glad she was doing the play with her because she had always wanted her sister to act with her. Hannah was also nervous because she didn't feel like she could memorize all her lines. Hayley stepped right into "big sister mode" and re-assured Hannah that she would be great and she was there to help her. I will never forget their sweet little conversation they had together in the car that day that they might not have thought I was listening to. I am so proud of these two. Yes, they definately have their moments when things aren't always this picture perfect...but when they are...they really are!
