This past week, we received a call from a lady in our ward asking if Olivia would like to participate in our Christmas party program, singing a song from Wizard of Oz. As a munchkin, she's singing "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead"...not exactly Christmas party fare. But she also has learned "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". Olivia was written into the script and given a dozen or so lines to memorize, which she did perfectly! And when it was her time to sing, she rocked the house (I know, I sound like one of those obnoxious stage moms. I can't help it. I'm proud...and I thought she was amazing!)
The stage was decorated like an Arctic Wonderland, and the kids all did a great job. After Olivia's singing, she was in costume as a penguin (she's the one in the red skirt, of course!)
It makes me happy to see her blossoming into a confident, talented, capable young woman. Even now, I don't know that I'd have the confidence or courage to stand up and sing in front of 200 people without a single waver in my voice.
Broadway, here she comes!

Olivia did a beautiful job....wow...she made me cry! Watch out world!
WOW! She is really talented. Seriously she did such a great job. I have heard a lot of girls her age sing in show auditions (I used to do lots of shows) and I have to tell you that was amazing. I am super impressed. Great Job Olivia!!!!
