Bah Humbug!

 On Saturday afternoon we took Jordyn to her very first theater experience...we went to the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse to see the musical Scrooge.  Our friend Marlin, who plays Jacob Marley,  had given Justin and i tickets as a thank you for all the tech support Justin had given him recently, so we purchased a ticket for Jordyn and another ticket for Christy, as a thank you for being our airport driver (and best friend)  :) and off we went!

 This was my first time going to a dinner theater, and i have to say, it was absolutely awesome!  The only way to go really!  We had terrific seats, but then again, there werent any bad seats in the house.  The food was delicious, Justin and i had the lemon pepper cod, Christy had the traditional beef pot pie, and jordyn ordered off the kids menu and had a corn dog.  Dessert was served during the intermission...and for dessert, we shared...a peppermint creme brulee and a piece of pumpkin praline cheesecake (which was quite tasty). 

 The atmosphere of the theater was quite cozy and beautiful.  Jordyn was fascinated by all the bling, the lights, the Christmas tree in the lobby, and she even thought the carpet was fancy!  And when the show began, she was mesmerized!  In fact, i found myself watching her as much as i watched the show.  The excitement on her face when they all came out to sing and dance...the costumes, the music, the set designs and how things moved on the stage.  She loved the way the stage went dark while the reflecting light from the ceiling mirror ball danced around the room during the set changes.  She would stand up by her seat and carefully spin around with the lights, and then sit down again to watch the next scene! 

 When Marlin, aka Jacob Marley, came on stage, she was absolutely taken by him.  I could hear her asking daddy all kinds of questions..."why is he wearing those chains"..."why is he green"..."how did he come out of that chimney"...He was scary and fascinating all at once!  So she was quite thrilled when she got to meet him after the show...

When Marlin asked her what her favorite part of the show was, she said, "when you came out of the chimney!  How did you come out of the chimney?"  To which he replied..."its magic!"  And it certainly was a magical evening for all of us!

Thank you sooooo much for a wonderful evening Marlin, we had a blast!  And thank you for taking photos Christy, im so glad you had your phone with you for these, you really captured our evening, and im soooo glad you shared it with us!  Bah Humbug....i think not!  :)
