Since the girls had enjoyed the previous puppet show so much and because I love Rudolph (ha), we took a family/friend outing to see the Red-Nosed Reindeer and his friends at the Center for Puppetry Arts. It was amazing! The show looked just like the cartoon I grew up watching and still love. I was a little nervous about the girls' reaction to the Abominable Snowman, but they took it like champs. Due in part to me making them watch it several times before we went. Both for my entertainment and to teach them that he is, at the end, a nice snowman (with no teeth) who puts the star on the top of the tree. See? It's all about education, people. Education and figuring out ways to make them watch really old Christmas cartoons because I love them.
They did great throughout the show - it was an hour long, so they started getting a little antsy, i.e., "Mommy?? Is it OVER yet?" - but held it together nicely with the promise of water and snacks at the end. And boy did they get more than that. Their first trip to The Varsity! It was a big day, folks. Rudolph and Varsity hats. Good times. They thoroughly enjoyed their hot dogs - Elle even ate 1/2 of my chili cheese dog. The girl was a machine. Nothing says Christmas like reindeer and hot dogs!
