I stick up my chin, and grin and say....

As mentioned in my previous post, last night, Emily, Katherine, my mother, sister and I went to the Opera House in Boston to see "Annie." It was...well, amazing. The newly restored Opera House is gorgeous beyond words.

Emily and Katherine were completely enthralled with the whole experience. I have never seen Emily so taken by anything, and so grateful to Mimi for such a wonderful Chirstmas present. Katherine was "Ryun's daughter" for the night and was most impressed with the technical end of things (How does that speaker come down? How do they change the lights? Did they build that staircase? Who painted that?).

It really was a great show to take the girls to see...they knew the story and songs before the even got there and that I think, made it an even better experience for them!

A picture, stolen from Yahoo Images of the inside of the Opera House. We were about 8 rows back from the stage! The picture doesn't even begin to do the place justice.

A great picture of Aunty and her girls (well two of them anyway)!

Aren't their dresses gorgeous, by the way? my mother got those for them for Easter, and last night provided a wonderful opportunity to wear them again!
