Rehersal/Gift Exchange

After my computer crashed at nationals I couldn't upload, so these photos are old news. This is with Mrs. OK and SC. We had assigned seats at rehearsal. Somebody spilt something surgery around my spot and underneath my chair was crawling with ants. I didn't realize it until I felt about 50 of them on my legs! ICKY!!!!!!
This a photo of the girls at the state gift exchange waiting to get all of the treats from each delegate.
Here I am with my gifts. It was Christmas in September! Everyone gave such nice gifts.
