But first we had to test our skills at Huey's in midtown at shooting toothpicks through our straws at the ceiling. I was proud of Caroline for hitting the ceiling several times but still not connecting. I felt blessed to have such a cute date!
Afterwards we slipped over to the theater and noticed the awesome gingerbread house/village in the style of Annie with characters and NYC cityscape to match.
Can you spot a little gingerbread orphan in red with Daddy Warbucks + Sandy on the streets of New York?
Oh by the way did I tell you that I won the tickets online via a local twitter trivia contest? If you ever needed a reason to get on twitter, maybe this is it - They were great seats too! Thanks @livefrommemphis!
Afterwards we got to meet the cast and get some autographs of course. It was fun seeing 12 year old girls loving on Caroline and being so kind to her as she was starstruck. I could see theater season tickets in the Hill family future with how much she loves it.
Of course Caroline's favorite was getting to meet Sydney who played Annie.
All in all a great date. The dinner was so fun and cute... at one point I mentioned she had food in her teeth on to get the reply, "It is probably from the food I just ate." I'm thankful I get to take her on these dates for many years before someone else tries to steal her from me.
Go see Annie if you have time, it was really fun and included some of Caroline's favorite elements: big girls on stage, singing, dancing, Christmas themes and a live dog to keep things interesting.
