True Story

While engaged Chris and I registered for Fiddler on the Roof on DVD for our wedding. To our delight it was given to us and we watched it within the first couple weeks of being married. Every night before falling asleep one would start singing "do you lovvah me?" like Tevya. The other would shout "WHAT?!" and then whoever's turn it was to shout "what!" had to sing a verse "After 2 weeks being married..." and list off funny things so far encountered in our early marriage. Then in the end we would harmonize (sometimes we did pretty good!) "It's nice to know..." After 6 1/2 years we still sing it to each other and Fiddler has held a special spot in our heart.

Heritage Academy put this play on just last weekend and it was fantastic. I mean really, really, really amazing. I'll probably post a couple more clips of the play since I just can't pick a favorite. Here's Tevya and Golde singing "Do you love me?"



WASN'T THAT SO SO SO SWEET!?

As a bonus, here is a little backstage footage of the kids. I LOVE going to Heritage and filming these guys. They totally crack me up and after filming there the last 4 years this is the most bizarre clip of them I have ever seen.
