"The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe"
I took my daughter to her second live play this week – “The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe”. Jaylyn – my five year old – loves Narnia, and “The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe” is one of her favorite stories, thanks to her MawMaw Tracy. My younger cousins, Olivia & Dmitri, performed in the play. Olivia was a member of the witch's army, and Dmitri played Mr. Tumnus.
The play was performed at Biloxi Little Theatre, on Lee Street in Biloxi. I had never been inside the theatre before and was quite surprise at the limited space and seating; however, it provided a more intimate atmosphere, and there wasn’t a bad seat in the house. My daughter, mom, and I chose a seat on the second row from the front, towards the right side. It was a perfect spot! We arrived about thirty minutes early, so keeping Jaylyn entertained before the show was quite interesting.
The talent of the children – ages three to eighteen – was incredible. Claire, the high-schooler who played Susan did an excellent job with her accent and complete identity as the girl in the book and movies. She was also a student director for the performance. Ester, the third grader who played Lucy, surprised me with her ability to memorize all the lines and make you feel like you were really somewhere off in Europe. The White Witch, played by Bethany, and Tumnus, played by Dmitri, also gave great performances. Bethany was so convincing that she literally made you nervous for the children in the play!
I was extremely surprised with how great the story and actors kept the attention of all the young children in the audience, especially Jaylyn.
We will absolutely be checking the theatre’s schedule at www.4blt.org for upcoming performances of plays. - Taryn

Looking forward to the holidays on the MS Gulf Coast -
Being a Southern girl - born and raised - I have spent my holidays nowhere else than on the Mississippi Gulf Coast - Biloxi to be exact. My mom always makes a delicious turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, gumbo and ham on Christmas. What I love most about being in Biloxi at Thanksgiving, is that the weather is the perfect temperature for me. Sitting outside, enjoying the sunshine and eating an early dinner with the people I love, IS Thanksgiving to me. After Thanksgiving, we start decorating for Christmas. And with that, comes so much fun stuff to do on the Coast for the holiday...
My husband, daughter, and I do not miss the 6th Annual Winter Wonderland Christmas, which is held in Long Beach, on Commission Road. The Balbock Family decorates their property - inside and out - just magically. Over 40,000 lights and decorations, Santa and his elves, and even a snow machine and hot chocolate welcomed us last year. The family that hosts the event is so hospitable and we look forward to going every year. It's held November 26 - January 1 and IS FREE!!! For directions, call (228) 669-2123.
Here's a picture of the village they set-up:
