My mom, Madi, Carson, and Ally and I along with my Aunt, cousins and some of their kids went downtown today to see the Rockettes in their Christmas Spectacular show.
My mom has a tradition of taking her grandkids (which are all my kids) to the Nutcracker every year at Christmas. This year, we couldn't get tickets (and by couldn't get I mean that we wouldn't pay $80 a ticket) but my mom and her sister had the great idea to see this production instead. I think you can only take so many Nutcrackers in a row, so I think switching it up might work well.
The only boys in the bunch: second cousins, Carson and Cason (funny huh?!) Cason kept asking if it was over!
My cousin-in-law, Wendy (isn't she beautiful?!), and her sweet McKenna.
Nana is so great at making memories with her grandkids... and she makes sure we get good pictures too! :)
The scantily clad tap dancing beauties even cleared the stage for a beautiful telling of the Christmas story... the real one, not the one about believing in Santa making you able to fly. It was surprisingly worshipful. The vocalists sang a powerful rendition of Hark the Herald Angels sing (my favorite!). I even noticed Carson wipe away a tear.
We had a great time together. Aunt Kathy brought binoculars which allowed the kids to see details up close. A dancing bear slipped, which Carson got a kick out of, and the girls have been practicing their Rockette high kicks all evening.
Hi! It's Amber from OKCMAR. That looks like so much fun! Jason gave me your blog address today so I could see what Christmas looked like at your house. I bet it is super exciting. Hopefully next year we will have a baby to open presents, and not just me. hehehehehe
