We went on a very special field trip today to the Sight and Sound Theatre. Sight and Sound is a Christian theatre that re-enacts biblical stories. They have gorgeous sets, special effects and live animals in the shows. We had a gift certificate that needed to be used by the end of the year, and have been wanting to take the kids but just didn't know when. Well, last week I found out Jake had this Saturday off (he NEVER gets Saturdays off!) and went online and found out that tickets were still available for "The Voices of Christmas" show. Its a little early for Christmas, but considering the fact the all five of us could go for free and the tickets were available..we went for it! And I'm so glad we did! It was a perfect show to take the kids to. The sets and songs were constantly changing as they took us through the history of many Christmas traditions all the while, keeping the focus on the real meaning of Christmas...Jesus' birth.
Jake and I have been excited about this all week. We saved it as a surprise to the kids until last night. When they found out, Emma was thrilled about the show because she understands what a musical is and loves them. Abby was excited simply because she got to get all dressed up :) And Nathan, well he was convinced we were going to a puppet show! Surprisingly, there were actually puppets in the show and that made his day! It was a fantastic show and we all had so much fun and can't wait to go back again someday!
All Dressed Up
Daddy and his girls...
Just the ladies...
Nate had no interest in participating in our little photo shoot. The girls on the other hand couldn't get enough...
I was finally able to sneak a shot of Nate dressed all preppy...
All that's missing is the horse and some snow!
We're here...
anxiously waiting for the show to start...
And that's all you get! Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take pictures during the show. So, if you want to see it you'll just have to go yourself...which I highly recommend!The show we saw today was in the small theatre. After the show we drove up the road to take a peek at the large theatre. All I can say is...WOW!
Now that we know the kids like this and that they can tolerate sitting in a theatre for a long time, next time we go we are going to the big show in the big theatre!

What a wonderful start to the
holiday season. The kids were

everything that went on.. I guess
I'll have to see it for myself

Your new picture is very festive!
Love you all

Nate was looking at this with me and when I asked him to tell me about it he said, "I got to go to that show and you didn't. I'm not going to tell you, it's a secret." I must have been a special show to be such a secret. Eventually he did tell me that there was a "Humongus puppet." You should have heard him say it...too cute!
