Cat tree

I have a good friend named Kraig, and for Christmas, he supprised me by making a really cool present. He made me a tree for my cat Ella! It is a really awesome stand, and it is almost as tall as I am. Ella really really loves it, and climbs on it all the time.

Here is Ella (I'm holding her), the new cat tree, Kraig, and I.

Ella looks really funny in this picture!

Here's Ella telling Molly to go away! When Ella is at the top of her tree, she thinks she is Queen of the world, and nobody is allowed to get near her. Its super funny! Thanks Kraig! :)

Anne of Green Gables

Today I promised my awesome friend Marianne I would blog, so I am! Last month, I was in a play called Anne of Green Gables. It was the second play I have had a part in with more then a few speaking lines (I had abt. 30 lines for this play) and it was the FIRST play I have ever been in that I had a real solo. In Oliver Twist and Pirates of Penzance I had small singing solos, but in this play I had to sing two pages of song all by my self! I was soooooooo nervous before hand, but I think I did a pretty good job! This year for the play, we did performances a little differently for two reasons. 1, we had three shows, a Thursday and Friday night show, and a Saturday morning show. We also had understudy parts that we could play on Saturday if we wanted to. My main part was Mrs. Allan the preachers wife, and my understudy part was Aunt Josephine Berry, who is Diana's aunt. My sister got a pretty big part as the little girl Josie Pie, and her understudy part was the main role Anne, but she decided she didn't want to play that part. The play turned out really really awesome, and I was really happy to participate in it this year. My brothers were stage crew and they also did a great job at that. Way to go everyone!!!

Guess What???

I got braces! I am trying to sound excited in this post, but really the excitement is for when I get them off in 18 months. I got them two weeks ago, and they have almost stopped hurting! Yay! They are blue, because that is my favorite color. The above picture is from two days after I got them, and I was smiling kind of funny because it still hurt a lot to smile. I am finally almost used to them now, though, and I am glad of that. :)
