The Hart Family

About once a week, on his day off, Mike takes Zoe for a daddy-daughter date. Typically they will do something like go to the park and grab a hot chocolate somewhere. This weekend, Mike brought Zoe down to the church to help repaint the youth room. She looks forward to these daddy dates all week long.

I'm glad someone picked up the camera and took this picture...

This shot is a bit blurry, but I still like it...

What do you get when you mix some 2 year old silliness with an active imagination at bedtime?

Why, it's bedtime for the Nun Princess, not bedtime for Zoe.

Zoe: Mommy? When kids are three, are they sometimes teenagers?

L: No, not yet.

Zoe: Well, when I am three I will almost be a teenager.

A few more pictures from a very fun weekend...

It started off with a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see the Christmas Spectacular show with the Rockettes. this will put you in the mood for Christmas- wow! It was way fun. We went during their 'soft opening', so they were still working out a few kinks. A tap shoe came flying off of a dancer during one kick line, plus a few other minor mishaps that put a smile on my face.

This is a picture of the theatre after the audience had cleared out. We were still hanging around because... we had been busy checking out the backstage area with our own personal family tour guide. My younger sister works there. Among the highlights...

... the camels. This one is named Ted...

...and then my sister demonstrated how she holds the tray of water cups for the dancers as they exit the stage...

...keep up the good work, Karen.  :)

... and then of course we had to try out some dance steps of our own on the stage.

As long as we were downtown, we went to FAO Schwartz and Zoe played some tunes on the big piano with her aunt and cousin.

Lots of fun memories this weekend! We are a fun bunch, after all. :)

We've been having a great weekend with some special visitors!
