I started crying when you had the kids sign your “playbill” I mean, words can do so much for encouragement, but being able for them to compare their experience to the one Colleen had on Broadway is next level! They’re gonna thank you for that one day!

I am so proud of all of the Ballinger kids. Bailey, Parker, and Duncan were awesome on stage. Knowing that Jacob was backstage working and I am sure excelling at his big brother duties helping with Duncan melts my heart.

Bailey’s the most darling Annie!! What a beacon of sweet, talented, tender hearted light and joy she is 🙌🏻💗💗

I hope Jacob doesn’t feel not included. He’s the most underrated sibling because his other siblings are extremely out-spoken. Adore all of these kids though ✨
