It's Joyful AND Triumphant!

Jingle Bell had a bit of a surprise for us in the morning with a little "Dad Joke"...

And after that... it was a super long day.  It was a super long day of production, an all-day rehearsal.  And tonight, it all led up to the first of two presentations - tonight's being a "families and friends only" sort of dress rehearsal.  Maddie was free to roam the audience and take all these pictures you see below, and there are plenty.  There are even more good ones too - she did a great job.  But it's late, and we're all rather tired.  It went really well today, and I can honestly say this is the best team of volunteers I have ever worked with.  Their enthusiasm and love are boundless, and their talent is immense.  This went from being something dreaded earlier in the summer to something just wonderful.  To quote the Grinch himself, "It's joyful and triumphant!"
