For Christmas, "Santa" brought our family the gift of tickets to the production of Hairspray at the McCallum Theatre. We have been counting down the days until our big night finally arrived. First, we headed to a wonderful restaurant called Hibachi. The have a sushi bar and cook at teppan tables right in front of you. The girls love Japanese food and we thought it would be a nice treat and a great way to spend our Christmas money (thank you Grammy!)Madison and Kym had steak, Chelcie had chicken and shrimp (yep, she loves shrimp!) and Doug had steak and scallops. They were the best scallops I think we have ever tasted! They all did great catching shrimp in their mouths.....Chelcie says it's from all those years in the outfield! From dinner we headed to the theatre. Madison kept hoping that Zac Efron would be in the crowd but no such luck! We had a good time despite the production being a bit more racy than the movie version. Madison's comment at the end when asked if she liked it "well that was awkward!" For the most part we had fun singing along with our favorite songs, laughing and appreciating the talents of the actors. The girls said they will remember this for their whole lives! It was a great Christmas present.
