Final Bows

This past weekend marked Eddie's last big performance with Nashville Ballet, and both of us got to take our final bows on the TPAC stage.  Lots of family came to visit and help us celebrate our 13 year careers.


Thursday night, Eddie's sister, Jackie, and Grandma came for dinner and a visit with Evelyn.


On Friday afternoon, Eddie's family visited with Evelyn.  Here is Aunt Gert.

Grace has great taste in beer.


Time for bed and one last nighttime snack with Tommy.

 Reading the paper with Pap pap on Sunday morning.  Tommy sees a picture of hockey puck players.


Grace goes through the recycling.


Tommy helps with Evelyn's bath before we go to the show.

Evelyn got to bow on stage as well.  She was so well behaved and may have enjoyed the spotlight too much!



Our traditional after the show trip to Blackstone.  Evelyn slept through most of it.




Grace tries on Christopher's sunglasses.  It's a good look on her.

One more game of golf hockey early Monday morning

Thanks to Gram and Pap for trimming all of our shrubs and mowing the grass.  The yard never looked better!

What an amazing and busy weekend!  Thanks to everyone who came and helped us celebrate 13 great years with Nashville Ballet.
