The Adventures of Cat & Jack: Fabulous Family Fun Night

One of Eliza's birthday gifts was a coupon for a Fabulous Family Fun Night, which was tonight. I'd used a gift card we received at Christmas time to buy tickets to see Pinkalicious The Musical (based on this book, if you've never heard of it) at a local theater. So we made a family night of it - Pizza for dinner, Pinkalicious, and Popcorn. Perfect.

Pre-show selfie while Ben and Cat got the popcorn.

Jack's favorite character was Peter, Pinkalicious's brother.
He said to me at one point in the show, "Nobody ever listens to Peter."
Perhaps he felt he could relate?

This actress played Alison, Pinkalicious's best friend.
She was also one of the dancing cupcakes - my
favorite part of the show.

Pinkalicious herself.

Notice Eliza and I made sure to don some pink.
When I was helping her choose her clothes this morning
I asked her about what pink ensemble she wanted to wear
and she chose this dress saying, "OF COURSE I'll wear this one."
Of course.

Though I couldn't get the guys in the picture with Pinkalicious,
they agreed to take a picture with the giant pink cupcake in the lobby.
It is much more manly, after all.

I love that we had a fun night where everyone enjoyed themselves. Luke was glued to the show from the moment the curtain opened and even Cat told us afterward that she was surprised that she liked it. Jack and Eliza both wanted to know when they'd be able to be in a play. Love it.

That's what Eliza was telling me about last night. I didn't understand her so gave my non committal "mmmm"" answer to what she said. What a wonderful treat for them. So glad you can give them these experiences! Thank you!
