Encore!

Applause, applause. Mike gave a stellar performance last night in the Nutcracker.
First he was the Father and Host of the Party. Here is his lovely ballerina wife, daughter and mischievous son Fritz.
Here he is talking amongst his real friend Brad VanCamp at the lovely party. He's been growing out his beard to make these sweet chops.
Then he changes rolls in the second half and becomes Mother Ginger with all of the lovely bon bon girls under his dress.
In the practices the little girls enjoyed tugging on his legs, hitting each other and trying to pull down his pants.

With that face how could you not be a delight to watch. Yes, he was hilarious and our own children loved bragging that their dad was Mother Ginger.

That is so cool! Mike how have you hidden your talents so long? Wish we were close enough to see this live.

Mikey you are so awesome! What a fun Christmas tradition. Maybe your kids can do it with you in the coming years. My kids have been in the party scene, Fritz and soldiers. Good memories.
