Footloose!

Gabriella and I celebrated Nana’s birthday with her with an evening out to Chanhassen Dinner Theater. What a great time! It was my first time there, as well as Gabriella’s. I really enjoyed the singing and dancing, but the best part was watching how much Gab was enjoying it. She was very excited right from the start…

 

and this was just when the server brought bread to the table.

Mmmmmmm….. yummy chocolate cake for dessert!

 

In the last number of the show, the actors came out into the audience, singing and dancing, and Gabriella was dancing in her chair right along with them. “Ariel”, the lead character, came right up to Gab and gave her a big high five, and I thought Gab would go through the roof with excitement. “Mom, she was my favorite one, and she came and danced by me!”

And then after the show, we got to have our picture taken with “Ren”.

It did get to be a late night, but Gab was still all fired up when we were leaving…. until the car came out of park.

What a fabulous evening. Happy Birthday, Mom! Thank you for sharing your evening with us. We look forward to doing it again next year!
