Yuletide Celebrating

Celebrations for Christmas week continued today with a trip to the symphony.  Today's trip was also celebrating Sarah's birthday, although it was back in November.  That's what happens when your birthday is around Thanksgiving.  You celebrate when you can.  After lunch at Creation Cafe we headed downtown to Monument Circle.  As I was driving around the circle I caught the scrolling news ticker out of the corner of my eye...."Early predictions - 3 to 6 inches of snow"  I think that was for Christmas.  Hopefully it won't be ice in Illinois.  The theater was all decked out.

I can guarantee that my tree at home is not this fancy!

Then while sipping coffee and taking in the sights we decided to get artsy with Sarah's suggested photo shot.  PEC would be so proud. :)

Then we decided to be a little silly. :)

The show was wonderful.  I love to hear an orchestra play live, and you can't beat the tap dancing Santas.  No photography allowed during the show.  But here's a funny story.  There are bins to place your program in after the show if you do not wish to keep it, and they will reuse them for other performances.  The ticket at the top of the photo is mine.  When I sat down an opened up my program the bottom ticket dropped out.  Notice anything?  They are for the exact same seat.  Coincidence?  A sign??  Who knows.   But I took my "lucky" program home with me. :)

And today was the last day of school until 2011!  The kids are thrilled....sleeping in tomorrow.
