"God bless us all, every one ..."

Chris and Zachary Miller had to work, but the rest of us Millers, plus one Johnson, Noah, and family friend Mandy Bradac, trooped to downtown Minneapolis this afternoon to see "The Christmas Carol" at the Guthrie Theater. Some photos from before and after the play at that awesome venue on the Mississippi River: Noah, Hannah, Moriah, Mandy and Elizabeth on the blue "endless bridge" that reaches out over the river. Pam, Mandy, Moriah, Hannah and Elizabeth by one of the theater's many cool windows. We ate lunch in the theater's fifth-floor cafe. Elizabeth had the "Merry Mac 'n' Cheese"; Moriah had the Reuben sandwich. Elizabeth and Mary on the blue bridge's balcony. Many people don't know about the Joe Dowling Studio on the Guthrie's ninth floor, perhaps the coolest place in Minneapolis. (The elevator to get to it is a little hard to find.) We call it "the golden room." The golden room has a glass floor through which you can see way, way down to Gold Medal Park. It gave me the vertigo willies to walk on it, but Elizabeth and Mandy were brave, and ventured out on it. Hannah, too, was wowed by the glass floor. Mandy and Moriah are golden girls even when they're not in the golden room. Elizabeth above the big city. Pam, Mandy and Moriah. Noah and Pam. Mary Miller made this casual snapshot of very casual Noah look like a Vermeer painting. Elizabeth's portrait, by her photographer mom. Noah and Hannah with a giant of the theater, Sir Tyrone Guthrie. Cousins Elizabeth and Noah. The beautiful blue theater from the outside.
