Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful time giving thanks with your families. We went to Des Moines to be with Craig's family. It was a very nice time, and a highlight of the weekend was taking the older girls to see Mary Poppins at the Des Moines Civic Center. It was the first real musical that the girls have seen and it was really cool. The music and choreography was outstanding, and there were some really neat special effects too. Mary Poppins floated away over the crowd and Bert danced on the ceiling! It was quite a bit different than the movie, but they did a lot of the same songs, so it was familiar enough to keep the girls' interest. Ashlyn got tired toward the end, but Jaclyn stayed interested the whole time. We couldn't take pictures during the show, so here are a few pictures I found online. The one below is from the Des Moines Register.
Aunt Jill and Grandma enjoyed the show with us.
We had some wait time before they opened the doors, so we entertained ourselves with some silly shots. Seems these days my girls are always ready to put on a show!

What a great memory they will have! I still remembery first live musical: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers- and it was just at the high school! Glad you enjoyed yourselves.
