Merry Christmas!


We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Adam and I had rehearsal Christmas Eve. We were able to have all of Christmas off. It was so wonderful. We had so much fun just being together and loving life. We slept in till 8 am and then exchanged gifts. What a fun morning. Our nephew, Andrew, had so much fun destroying all of the wrapping paper. We went and saw "National Treasure". It was fun. I really do dislike Nicholas Cage as an actor, but I did enjoy the show.

Breaking Up is Hard To Do

So this is our "we have had it" photo of Christmas Carole. We both loved this show, but we were ready for Christmas to be here and have a wonderful Christmas.
This is our final Crachit family photo. Ooohhh. I am going to miss my little family!
This last photo is of myself and Maria. Here we are on Christmas Eve day rehearsing for "Breaking Up is Hard To Do". You can tell that we had a whole bunch to do and were super busy all day. Oh well.

More Photos

These are just some more fun photos of my show. Paul and I are on the left. Daniel is the young man that I am strangling on the right. I love my Tiny Tim, but sometimes he just has too much energy.











Adam and I are both in "Breaking Up is Hard to Do", the next show at the Alhambra. We are what Adam has termed "vocal whores". We sit in the back and sing into a mic. How great is that? We get paid, we get points and we get to be together! It's awesome.


We both miss our Christmas in Utah with the snow and the mountains, but Grandma and Grandpa Daveline are here so we have a very full house. Lots of fun together! Adam also sang at the "Broadway Cares: Equity Fights Aids" concert. I have tried and tried to get the video up, but I can't figure out how to get it up. He did great! I took the night off and just enjoyed the concert. So much fun!

Pum Pum Pum Pum!

I am very much in the Christmas spirit. I get to do at least 8 shows a week of "A Christmas Carole" and then Peggy is Christmas decoration queen. Seriously. It is like a winter wonderland in the middle of Florida. It's awesome!

Our friends, Josh and Tynan took us out to a Japanese Steakhouse. It was my very first time. Sooooooooooo cool. I loved it. The food was delicious and our chef was really fun.

This is my friend, Anna. She plays my daughter in the show and she and I share our own dressing room. She is such a good girl and soooo funny. I am probably the least mature person in the cast, so she and I get along really well. All of the adults hang out together and then our dressing room has become the kid zone. Fun, huh?
These are my adorable little kids, Anna and Daniel. Don't let the little guy fool you, he is a ball of energy. Try harnessing that energy everyday. Thank goodness for the "Muppet Christmas Carole".

I hope you all have a wonderful and merry holiday season!!! I miss you all sooooo much!

Weird Dream

Okay, so this might be so random, but I tend to be one of those people who really doesn't remember their dreams. The only time I do remember a dream is if it's completely bizarre. So I am wondering if there is anyone out there who can help me interpret my latest dream.

WARNING: You are about to enter into my subconscious.

My dream starts in a small apartment. It's just Adam and myself. I appear to be about 6 months pregnant. A little tummy showing, but not a whole bunch. All of the sudden, Adam's parents show up, except his parents happen to be a very thin Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rita Wilson. They told us that they are here to help with the babies. Plural. They told me that I needed to lay down. So I did, and I had a baby. Just like that. No one offered to help, so I cut the cord, cleaned up the baby and let Adam's parents hold the baby. Then Adam's step parents showed up. Now this is strange because in my dream, his parents didn't get divorced. He just had step parents. Even weirder, Adam's step parents were Christopher Walkin and Kathy Niajmey. I then had another baby, no help, cleaned it up and let Adam's "step parents" hold this baby. Then, my parents showed up (my actual parents). I then had a third baby. This baby looked like it was about 1 year old. I cleaned up and went to let me parents hold their new grandchild and they looked at me and said, "No thanks, we'll wait to hold one of the cute babies."

Alright, what the heck?!?!? I can't even begin to try to understand what my subconscious is thinking.

Here's to all of you and your pleasant dreams!!!

Turkey Day, Gingerbread Men and Christmas Carole

We had such a fun time down here on Thanksgiving. We started out the morning by going to the Ward Turkey Bowl. Andrew, who is just 2, tried to play too. The little guys in our ward were so nice. They let him have his own football (or feetball as Andrew calls it) and he ran up and down the field with them. Really cute. I even joined in and played and got the first touchdown for my team. Shows them to pick me last!!! (In all fairness, I think I just scared everyone. See, I was so excited that I caught the ball that I ran down the field screaming.) After feetball, we went back home and had a wonderfully yummy dinner. It was a great day. I did miss the Walker family Thanksgiving and the giant basketball game, but I was very grateful to be with family.

For family home evening a few days later, we all made gingerbread men. We had so much fun. Andrew was very enthusiastic about it until he figured out that you could eat it, then he got a wee bit side tracked. Adam actually ate that entire cookie!!! I couldn't believe it. Mine is still hanging up as a decoration. It was awesome fun.












This is a picture of my little Crachit family. The guy in the back is Paul and he plays Bob. The girl in the red is Anna and plays Sarah, our daughter and the small guy in the front is Daniel and he plays Tiny Tim. The girl in the center is Jackie and she is the understudy for both of the kids. We have a lot of fun doing 10 shows a week. LOTS OF CHRISTMAS CAROLES!!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!








So, here we are! During the mornings we get to do these Children's shows where kids come in and we do a performance about the first Thanksgiving. We start out as little kids and then we take a trip to "Magic Land" and go through time or whatever. This time we go back to England and talk to the Pilgrams before they leave on their long journey to America. It is really fun. Adam sings "Go the Distance" while he is on the Mayflower. When the Pilgrams get to America, they meet the Native Americans (I am one of them) and we teach them how to become one with nature. I sing "Colors of the Wind", we go on a goose chase, eat some popcorn and say Happy Thanksgiving. It is about 45 minutes and soooo much fun. I thought you guys would want to see our cast. And I wanted to tell you all HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!
