Living Christmas Tree

Tonight was date night for Mommy and Daddy, and it was all prearranged by God. Seriously, we didn't have this night off originally, and certainly needed a break to do something a little Christmasy. Suddenly, there's a wedding at our church and practice is cancelled! Now there's a nice surprise!

Next, we walk in to the performance above at literally the last minute - and right there are two seats available (and none anywhere else), exactly where we usually sit. It was like they were reserved for us! For this to happen on a Saturday night at this big event was pretty awesome!

It was a very wonderful evening together, as Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the orchestrations and choir arrangements. Lots of harmonies and beautiful music, and as you can see above, lots of lighting effects. The event comes highly recommended!

Afterwards, we went to Red Lobster for a nice meal together before finally heading home. Madison was at Ye-Ye and Nana's house tonight, where she watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," among other things. She loves her grandparents very much, and really enjoys going over there to spend time with them.

It was a busy work day for the most part, until tonight that is. That's when everything just sort of fell into place for us. You know how that goes: it was a very nice Christmas gift, right under the "living" Christmas tree.
