White Christmas with Bella

Isabella had never seen this holiday classic and so I got to see this on the big screen all over again with a newbie. Danny Kaye was her fave character (of course!!) and like every other gal that sees this film, she was blown away by the stunning costumes by Edith Head and Vera-Ellen's tiny waist and gorgeous gams. It was a packed house and we didn't discover until 15 minutes before the curtain rose that it was a sing-a-long version. Uh-oh. This might not be the ideal way to see this for the first time. How wrong I was! It was a fabulous experience and the entire audience emanated pure joy. Loads of applause and laughter at all the right spots. After the show we went to El Burrito for grub and three hours of chit-chat. Naturally, selfies were taken. I have to mark every occasion with a photo!

(You can't even tell the audience was chiming in - they sound like background performers! Oh, and sorry for the wonky cinematography - I was recording with one hand and covering the phone's face with my other so it wouldn't disturb the people behind us.)
