Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I Love Ya, Tomorrow....

One night a couple months ago, we decided to have a family movie night. I convinced Tony to watch Annie with us. Not his first choice but he said okay. Well... Grace stayed up late watching the entire 2 hour movie. Glued to the screen. She absolutely loved it. The first thing she said when she woke up the next morning was "Can we watch Annie again?" Annie has become a staple in the Osmond home.
There were a couple weeks that it played on the TV once a day. Grace can recite the whole movie and knows the words to every song of the movie. We even have the soundtrack in the car to listen to on thew way to and from school. It's an obsession. 
Well Annie is playing on Broadway but Grace is too young to go to the show. They do not let children under 4 go to the plays. Totally understandable but they don't know how much this little girl loves her Annie. She seriously would not say a word. 
Well the next best thing came to us... my sister, Sue, saw that they were going to be having a meet and greet with Annie at Short Hills mall. So we marked our calendar, made reservations and counted the days until Grace could meet Annie. 

My parents and I headed up to Short Hills mall to meet Karen and Colin. We were also surprised by Tony and Lily. They were planning on staying home but came to meet Annie. 
Here's Lily pie with Santa. We have seen Santa to much this Christmas season. Grace has even said, "Santa is everywhere!"
 Karen, Dad, Mom and Colin
 While we waited in line they were doing free red hair extensions for the kids. LOVE IT! And so did Grace.
 This guy is everywhere

 All around the store they had signs, pictures, clothes and memorabilia of Annie
 Look at this face... Priceless!

Santa!!!
 Grace meeting Annie and Sandy! Happiest girl ever!
 Karen and Colin meeting Annie... Karen played Molly in the musical Annie when she was younger. 
She was almost as excited as Grace ;)
 Checking out Annie's locket.
 A little sleepy head.
 Annie performing "Tomorrow"
 The guys
 We love you Miss Hannigan
 Miss Hannigan had an area in the lingerie section. Funny pic with all the lingerie around us but loved this. She was so happy.
 Thanks Annie!
 Can't wait to bring Grace to see the musical next year!
