Matilda Musical

 For my birthday, Marina and I planned a fun evening. After I picked her up from school, we went home to get ready for our evening. Marina brought Saige with her and they wore matching black velvet dresses.

We started by having dinner at a steakhouse. Marina surprised me by ordering the kids rib plate. She also had a salad. I shared some of my steak with her which she enjoyed. She told our server that it was my birthday, so once we finished our dinner, she brought out a dish of ice cream with a candle in it.

After dinner we drove downtown to the theater to see a touring show Matilda. Marina has been reading the book, so she was especially looking forward to seeing this show.

When we arrived at our seats, we met a woman and her daughter who were sitting in front of us. It was her birthday which was really fun that we shared that reason for attending. The girls had fun hanging out together before the show, during intermission and afterward.

Marina loved the musical. She was very happy that her favorite scenes from the book were included in the show.  At the end, the audience was showered with confetti. Naturally, Marina wanted to stay for a while to collect some.

Despite all the fun we had, we were ready to go home. We are usually not out so late on school nights.
