A Christmas Carol

Our favorite theater offered up a performance of A Christmas Carol. It was fabulous and just the right level for the house full of 3-8 year olds that sat wide eyed with wonder.

At the conclusion, the cast takes a seat on the stage and signs autographs. Usually the girls pass on this opportunity. But today, they wanted to meet the players!

Em waited patiently for a chance to talk to Tiny Tim. She didn't want to sit down and have her picture made, but she made sure to show off her blue fingernail polish and also to invite Tiny Tim to play at our home.
Roo wanted to meet Mr. Scrooge. She had a shy moment when it came time to get close, but still had a tiny conversation with him.

Next up, a walk to the Capital to attempt some Christmas card photos.
There's so much to explore on the way.
And this was all before noon! Hungry set in. We barely made it to our favorite diner before the grumps landed. Coloring always helps distract from growly tummies while the pancakes cooked.

A lovely day it was.

Holy moly, that was a lot of catching up! LOVED it! Especially Roo's pirate outfit and Em's family of princesses ;)
