- [Chris] You did it!
You did so great!
Woo! - It was great.
Was it fun?
(upbeat music)
- [Jessica] Oh my goodness.
You're hair is so beautiful, Bailey
(laughs)
I cannot get over it.
How's your little bro doing?
Very concerned.
I'll feed you right now, sir.
Bailey, your hair is beautiful.
- Thank you.
- [Jessica] You are welcome.
And I love this dress.
Want to know how much I love this dress?
I bought it for myself.
(chuckles)
But it fits you better now, so...
And it's beautiful on you, and I like your hair with it.
- Thanks.
- [Jessica] You're welcome.
Are you ready to curl it
and get all ready for your big show tonight?
Why did we dye your hair?
- 'Cause I'm in Annie.
- [Jessica] When does that happen?
- Today.
(chuckles)
- Bailey is in her very first lead role in a musical.
She is Annie in the musical Annie.
Tonight is opening night.
Parker and Duncan are both in the show as well
briefly as orphans.
And Jacob's helping backstage and doing a lot of help there.
Which is really cool.
He's very excited about that.
Getting so big, little guy.
Oh, goodness.
- [Parker] Bet there's two.
- [Jessica] This little guy is getting so big.
Hey, mister.
(laughs)
Hey, Parker.
- Hi.
- [Jessica] You excited about being
in your show tonight.
You been doing amazing when I watch you rehearsals.
- Thank you.
- [Jessica] You guys are way too sweet.
(chuckles)
Aww, did he just fall asleep?
No, he's staring at you.
Staring at his big sister.
Parker just brought Luke the present that he picked out
for him before he was born.
And unwrapped it all.
And look at that.
- Hi!
I'm an Elmo.
- He burped about it.
- Whoa!
(laughs)
- Like your Elmo?
That's a little aggressive.
And show Luke the special thing that it does.
That's Luke. - There's a mirror.
- There's a mirror.
(baby cries)
- Here, you can hold him.
Oh, you're holding him.
Yay!
High-five.
(laughs)
Yay!
Oh, it's okay.
(chuckles)
- My dad, the famous grandpa John is here for a visit,
and to see Bailey and the other kids in Annie.
And right now, he's getting a chance to hold little Luke.
(laughs)
Hey, buddy.
And here's Duncan.
Big brothers.
This is what it's like, dad.
If you've got the baby in your arms,
they instantly surround you.
They're like little magnets.
- Hi, there
Look at your beautiful, big, brown eyes.
Hi.
- [Jessica] Hi, Grandpa John
- Yeah, who are you?
Who are you?
I don't remember...
I only met me once or twice before.
And then you were born. - Why is that?
- All right, it's time to transform you into little Annie.
- I'm so excited. (chuckles)
- So I'm going to to curl Bailey's hair,
and it's actually a new way of curling hair that I
had never done before.
And Coleen taught this to me.
I had curled it, and it was looking really good,
but then she taught me this other different,
totally more Annie way and very theatrical looking curl.
This is how we get a really good ringlet for Bailey's hair
when she's Annie.
- [Jessica] So I'm gonna portion it off.
Just for my sanity.
So, I used these little curler things,
and I'm gonna start curling the tip like that.
And the curler will go squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.
And we just kinda go up like that.
Turning it and squeezing it,
and getting each little chunk heated.
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.
Okay, and then we're going to put that there.
Like that so now that chunk's there.
It's gonna cool down.
We're gonna do the rest of this hair exactly like that,
and I'll show you how it turns out.
So I just finished doing a few,
so I thought I'd unravel one for ya.
Because they're really cool.
We do it almost like a windmill when you're unwrapping it.
You're doing it like that.
♪ Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. ♪
(chuckles)
We'll get there.
It takes a little second.
It's gonna be so worth it when it comes undone though.
Oh my goodness!
So cute.
And I happen to have a burn on my arm.
Hey, right there.
But it's not from doing this.
It's from pulling lactation cookies out of the oven.
(laughs)
So look at how cute that is.
Can you get back this far?
See, look at how cute that is.
That's what happens when you unravel it.
These cutey little bouncy curls.
And can separate them just a little bit like that.
Get some volume in there.
There we go.
So pretty.
Oh my goodness.
There she is, Miss Annie.
- I'm so excited.
- [Jessica] Look at that amazing Annie hair.
Turn around.
(laughs)
- Okay, I'm ready to go.
Let's go, let's go.
(piano music)
(voice overlapping)
- [Audience Member] There's an autograph thing on the back.
- There's an autograph thing on the back?
- [Audience Member] Yeah, it says "autographs".
- Thank you, babe.
You're right.
- [Chris] You did it!
You did so great.
- It was so great.
- [Chris] Was it fun?
(laughs)
Yay, Parker.
You did great. (clapping)
You did so great. (cheers)
- [Family Friend] Parker, this is from Coleen and I.
- [Chris] Oh my goodness.
(voices overlapping)
- You did awesome.
- Good job, Parker.
You're amazing.
(voices overlapping)
- [Family Friend] Hey, Parker, can you sign this for me?
(voices overlapping)
- [Chris] Parker.
Parker, you did so good.
- Thank you.
I'm doing two more tomorrow.
- [Chris] Oh my goodness,
I'll have to clear my schedule.
Parker, do you know where Duncan is?
(laughs)
- He's here.
(laughter)
- [Chris] Should we go get him?
- Yes.
- [Chris] There you are.
You did a great job.
Good job.
- I go on two hours.
- [Chris] You went on for two hours?
Yeah, more than that probably.
(voices overlapping) (clapping)
- Well done, Duncan.
- [Chris] How's my Dunc-Dunc?
Jacob, you did it.
- Yeah.
- [Chris] You helped out, and you got flowers.
(speaker drowned out by crowd)
Good job.
The kids did such a good job.
The whole cast did a great job.
That was such so much fun.
- And now we get ice cream.
- And now we're gonna go get some ice cream.
- Bailey, Parker, and Duncan just finished their show,
so we're at the ice cream place to celebrate.
Afterparty.
Congratulations, Bailey.
- Thank you.
- [Jessica] Duncan.
- Oh no.
(laughs)
Eat it.
- [Parker] Bailey, do you want the second chocolate?
- [Chris] How's your whipped cream?
Is it good?
- It's good.
I have some in there.
- [Chris] You have some in there?
That's cool.
He's getting his ice cream as well.
(voices overlapping)
Is it chocolate dipped?
- I hope not.
- [Chris] Dairy free?
(soft guitar)
(voices overlapping)
- [Family Member] Do you want to sit?
No, you look comfortable.
- Are you sleepy now?
No, not sleepy?
You seemed sleepy a second ago.
Oh, what?
A baby?
There's a baby.
- He's awake.
He is not asleep.
He is awake.
We're home now.
Bailey, that was the first performance of Annie.
How did you enjoy doing that?
- It was so fun.
I loved it.
- Are you excited about tomorrow?
Bailey has two performances tomorrow.
She's being Annie in the first performance, right?
And then somebody else is being Annie
in the second performance,
and you're still in the show though you're
an orphan. - I'm an orphan.
So--
- And I'm also in Hooverville.
- So cool.
So they double-cast Annie and the director was like,
"We still want your voice.
We want your voice in all the scenes."
So she's gonna be there doing the Annie,
but not as Annie.
She'll be doing the orphan.
And then you have more performances later, right?
After Thanksgiving?
You did so good tonight, Bailey.
- Thank you.
- You did so, so well.
You were so great, enthusiastic,
and it was so much fun watching you on stage.
And I was so proud of you,
and I was holding back the tears.
And I was laughing.
And it was great.
I was so, so proud of you.
And it was so cool, looking over and seeing
our family and friends there, too,
just smiling just as big as me.
Whenever you go out on stage.
It was so cool.
And your brothers did great, too.
I think we mentioned this, but Jacob,
he wasn't on stage, but he was backstage doing stuff.
He was helping take care of Duncan,
and when they were setting up the lights,
he had a utility belt and a hard hat,
and he was zip-tying things, and carrying things.
So he's been a super helper,
and kind of a backstage worker.
And Luke is the only kid that didn't really do much.
Except for puke on my shoulder that night.
He did do that. (laughs)
Anything else you wanna say about being Annie?
- It was just so fun.
It's been my dream to be in a musical
since I was really little.
- Did it live up to your expectations?
It did?
It was so cool.
You were so good up there.
You were so charismatic.
You had this cool, spunky character you were playing.
- Loved it.
It's so fun.
I can't wait to see you in another play.
I mean, I can't wait to see you in this play again
several times. (laughs)
But I can't wait to see you in another play, too,
and see what you do with a new character.
- Yeah, I'm so excited.
- That's it for us for today.
And pretty soon, Thanksgiving is this week.
That means blog-mas is gonna start up.
Are we gonna do blog-mas?
- Yep.
- Do you wanna do blog-mas this year?
- Yes.
- Yeah, we're excited about blog-mas.
It's gonna be a challenge with the baby, I think.
- A few of the days, I'll be in Annie shows.
- A few of the days, you'll be in Annie shows?
Are you going to help me do the editing
because it's a lotta work.
- I'll help with the baby while you do the editing.
- Oh, perfect.
That'll work.
I'll take it.
Thank you guys so much for watching today.
Thank you Bailey for being an amazing Annie.
- Thank you.
- And we will see you next time.
- Next time.
Bye.
- Bye.
(laughs)
