Casa Manana Show

Last week my FIL and I took a trip to Casa Manana to see "santa claus is coming to town". We got discounted tickets with our MOPS group from church and later found out that our neighborhood playgroup was also going. We actually sat in the same section in the rown next to eachother, it was fun sitting with all our friends. The show was just over an hour and Irina did GREAT! I was so proud of her for sitting, wathing and listening to the entire show. She especially loved the singing and dancing elfs that jumped around the stage. I told her that santa was a fun character to watch and that it was all pretend. We want her to to have a good time with the holidays but we are teaching her that more importantly its the day Christ was born. Daddy-O had fun holding Irina in his lap during the show, although she got fussy after we left, she wanted to see more. We were all very hungry afterwards and headed to Granny's (Irina's Great Grandmother) house for BBQ sandwiches. I only got these shots: the first was as they announced that no cameras were allowed during the show, the others are at the end and the last is of Irina & her Daddy-O.
