Truffles and laughs

Sunday were attending a holiday party for Joe's improv comedy group. It was a pizza and dessert buffet so we made truffles that morning. And of course Lillian had to help. It was truly a wonderful morning, making truffles and listening to Christmas songs. Lillian ate more than she actually made but she was a help. It's good thing none of us had gotten showered or dressed yet!


Lillian was very good at the holiday party. She did good being with complete strangers and mostly adults. There was one boy, Zachary who is four and a few girls that were in elementary/middle school. Zachary I have tagged as her future husband. Lillian ate her food and even provided some comedy relief. She had fun running across the stage and interjecting various commands at the most appropriate times during the presentations! Such commands as: "No, dance!" and the ever popular "No!" The last command happened while she was walking along some seats and wobbled and both Joe and I reached for her. She screamed "NO!" and everyone turned and started to laugh. We did not now what was said at that time of the presentation but apparently her scream of NO came at the right time! Lillian of course started to cry when she noticed that people were laughing at her so she and I left for home. It was past her bedtime anyway. When Joe came home he said that one of the guys told him that there were high expectations placed on Joe's comedy skills given those that Lillian displayed that night!
