My girls were excited as we planned to have dinner before the concert dressed in our Christmas best. We arrived at the Cheesecake Factory in downtown Denver just before six pm and after a short wait, were seated. Our lessons on etiquette were well received as three beautiful girls tried their best to remember.
After dinner, we walked a few blocks to the Boettcher Concert Hall at the Denver Performing Arts Center. It was crowded with concert goers--most dressed for the occasion. We weren't front and center, but had fairly good seats in Dress Circle one which was somewhat off to the side.
The concert began at 7:30 which was a little late for some in our party. After intermission, Kristen and Misha were beginning to be a little sleepy. I held Kristen in my arms while Misha leaned against my arm. Kristen would have been well on her way to dreamland had it not been for a special visitor--we spied him waiting on the other side of the hall and she was awake and alert awaiting his arrival. Yay for Santa!
All three girls were fast asleep by the time we arrived home.
