Christmas Madrigal

We've been looking forward to this event for a very long time. As the description says,

"Imagine for one evening that you could be transported back to a 16th-century English castle, where you could hear a cappella Christmas carols sung by lords and ladies, and you could get caught up in the mischief-making of the court jester, all while enjoying a 3-course meal served by friendly peasants.

"Every year, Great Lakes Christian College hosts a Madrigal Dinner and Concert series at Central United Methodist Church, in downtown Lansing.

"We anticipate that the atmosphere, great food, lively drama, and concert will be a fun, unforgettable evening, both time and money well-spent!

"This year, begin the Christmas season in a unique, unforgettable way!"

We went last year and it was simply wonderful. Good food, good entertainment, a magical evening of drama and music and celebration. This year, we decided to bring the kids along so they could enjoy it as well.

And they did. Mostly.

But it took them awhile to get into the mood.

They weren't very excited when we were taking pictures prior to leaving the house.


But once we got there, they seemed to get into the spirit of things. I'm not sure if stealing my hat helped.


Or maybe it was wearing cool shades.


Either way, by the time the event was over, we were all in a good mood. Mostly.
