A Christmas to Remember!

Our weekend started out with Cody's parents coming in on Friday afternoon! They stopped by my office and met a few of my co-workers! Later that night we relaxed, had dinner at our favorite little Italian restaurant then all came back to our house to watch a movie! The next morning I felt like one of those escorts at Disney World. Cody's parents dressed up at Santa and Mrs. Claus to promote "Christmas at the Lyric"--we had a great time!!!

           
Mark and Robin all dressed up downtown Blacksburg!             
       This little girl was so excited to see them--she was jumping up and down!!

Later that night we got all dressed up and we went to see The Nutcracker at Radford University. Robin and I were so excited, the boys not so much--but they were good sports and Robin and I made up for it later :)

This was the first time I'd seen it and Robin hadn't seen the nutcracker for almost 30 years!!


The opening scene--we couldn't take pictures so I had to sneak this one!

The final act--i figured they couldn't kick me out at this point! :)


The next morning was "Christmas at the Lyric"

They put our service on the Marque sign!!!

Just a small bit of the crowd eating the yummy donuts and coffee

Mrs. Clause reading "The Night Before Christmas"
All the kids singing for the audience-it was precious!!

*We had an amazing turn out and people loved the service!! Cody did an incredible job at producing this entire event!! I was so proud to be married to the boy on stage!!

Love y'all,
LaRae and Cody

How fun! Oh yeah - I wanted to tell you from a few posts ago to check out the website tastespotting.com. For some reason it is down today - but it is my FAVORITE website for finding recipes. The blogger visits a ton of cooking blogs and then posts the ones with the best recipes - when you clock a picture that looks good to you it takes you to the original post - it is awesome and the blogger posts a TON every day! Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas :)
