Sophie's Blog: Hello folks, I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving! I sure did, Uncle Aaron and Grandpa Mike and Grandma Linda came down. In the morning, I performed my play, and everyone watched my portfolio presentation. Tonight I have rehersal, we're going to run through the whole show. Next week we start with costume!! I can't wait to perform it next weekend. Mom said I could get a T-shirt. I want one because this is the first play I've ever really been in, and I'm starring in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday at skating I fell and brused my hip. I was really proud of myself though because I didn't cry. I can't wait for the Christmas show. It's going to be so much fun doing Lasso Santa Claus.
