Our Beautiful and Talented "Belle"

When our grand daughter, Sydney, got the lead part as Belle in her school's production of "Beauty and the Beast," George and I knew it was something we definitely wanted to be a part of.  I left a few days early for Dallas and saw both nights of the production, and George was able to fly in for the second night.  We were thrilled that we attended.  It was one of the sweetest things we've ever experienced.  We absolutely cried through the whole thing as we were so proud of Sydney and the wonderful job she did!

 Sydney was absolutely radiant in her beautiful Belle dress, but even more so with her beautiful smile!

So many young girls lined up to get Belle's autograph . . .

including her Cousin Lola who wanted her book signed and a picture taken for her book, too.

I told you that Sydney's performance brought us to tears!

It is so wonderful to watch your grandchildren grow and develop their talents.  Sydney sang like an angel and was the perfect Belle for this production.  It was an evening George and I will never forget!  Congratulations, Sydney, for all your hard work and to your parents for helping make it all possible with all they did to get you to practices and helping with so many items which made the production so great!
