Today a trip to London
Signalled the start of our Christmas Countdown
We went to see The Snowman
At The Peacock Theatre
This was our third year
Starting advent by seeing the show
We were all so excited
And this year our experience was very different
We were sat in the stalls for the first time
Giving us a different view of the show
It was lovely seeing The Boy’s face
He was so expressive as he danced
As were all the dancers
Including Esther’s favourite ballerinas
The music box doll
And the ice princess
Esther has her sights set on playing these roles one day
I think William would make a brilliant boy
But he has his heart set on dancing the part
Of one of the penguins
These character dancers were adorable
And very funny
Now that Esther and William
Both attend dance classes
They like to talk about the technical aspects of a show
As well as enjoying the story
Esther was in awe of the dancers en pointe
William was counting cartwheels
And acro moves
The character of Jack Frost was brilliant for this
The whole show was superb
I really enjoyed the performance of The Boy’s Dad this year
We all love the carol singers
We laughed at the funny antics of The Snowman
As he explored The Boy’s house
And we cried when he melted
I cried before the show even began
The opening bars of music
Fill my eyes with tears every time
Just so beautiful
Father Christmas was fabulous
And got clapped and cheered
Whenever he came on stage
The energy of the show is amazing
It makes you tingle from head to toe
With the wintry magic of Christmas
This is the perfect festive family show
And a great way to celebrate the start of advent
It has become a true tradition in our family
In memory of Matilda Mae
We love walking in the air with
