Chenille's Solo, obviously 1940's check out that dress! Gag me... I love the silver tree in the back, a present from my mom for Christmas a few years ago. Perfect for the time period.

The kids and Rose singing Silent Night, hoping their daddy will be home soon!

This is Barry and Hannah Cozart! I so love these guys. Hannah was my "daughter" in the show. She has a beautiful singing voice, and an even more beautiful spirit!


The USO American Radio at the base in Italy. The Harmonaires, Carol, Holly, and Noel :)

Kara prepared all drinks and 2 of the Harmonaires, Joanna & Julia were our dessert specialists! Our desserts were awesome.

Everyone wanted to know who made them we elegantly replied...Samuel's Clube! :)

And finally.... THE1940's Christmas Homecoming CAST2008! Merry Christmas!!!

I still haven't figured out how to do this picture format stuff...

This is last years pictures from the 1940's show that we are doing. I'll send pictures of the 2008 show later. Tonight is our last night. We have had almost sold out shows! Tonight's will definately be over sold out! Exciting. Here are a few pics from last year.

This pic is the Barry Household. We are waiting to hear from Eddie (husband/father) on our shortwave radio. He is supposed to be coming home for Christmas!

Eddie is Lieut. Barry and his commanding officer is going to disappoint him b/c he will be asking him to go on a dangerous mission to rescue many people, but it's on Christmas eve and he won't get his Christmas Homecoming!

The USO Radio show is what the Barry family is listening to when they get the bad news that he will not be coming home for Christmas! However through all the sounds of the bombs and machine guns he pulls up and yells to his dad,"Mission accomplished, mission accomplished!"

The story speaks about a father sending his only son on a dangerous mission to rescue people. The commanding officer is actually Lieut. Barry's father. They tell that this mission that he is going on is like the mission that God sent his only son on to rescue many people that would otherwise perish. It's a tear jerker that brought people back for more! What an awesome missionary tool! More pics of this year's show later!

James decided that after watching Goofy's skiing cartoon that he wanted to make skis of his own, which meant that Mandolin and Sophia had to have a pair as well. So here are our little skiier with their cardboard postal skis duct taped to socks and shoes! I'm sure the post office would be glad to know their box went to good use! :) They skiied for hours! :)

Mandolin's two favorite times of the day...BATH TIME & GIRAFFE PLAY TIME

I'm canning pears right now at my friends house waiting for the next batch to be done. We were looking at our emails about food storage (canned pears:) and the last days, well here is one that was sent to me not too long ago! Interesting...

We are just new at this, bare with us as we try to put a few things together! :)
