It's good to be Suri Cruise.

The 10-year-old Hollywood scion and mom Katie Holmes enjoyed a magical weekend in New York City. Suri—also joined by two cousins and her grandmother—caught a showing of Broadway's Finding Neverland, which tells the story of Peter Pan creator J.M. Barrie, at The Lunt Fontanne Theatre. After the musical ended, Suri and co. posed for pictures during a backstage meet-and-greet with cast members Laura Michelle Kelly, Paul Slade Smith, Amy Yakima and Tony Yazbeck. Amy—who stars as Peter Pan—even showered Suri with pixie dust.

"#familylove #dreamscometrue #girlsweekend," Katie wrote on Instagram.

Finding Neverland ends its Broadway run Aug. 21 before going on a national tour. Katie and Suri are big Broadway buffs, having seen everything from Newsies to School of Rock. Katie has acted on Broadway before, too, starring in 2008's All My Sons and in 2012's Dead Accounts.

"New York has been very good to both of us," Katie told People in 2014 of her post-Tom Cruise life with Suri. "I love the theater, the galleries in my neighborhood. Stuff [like] that is so much of what makes me love this city." (In mid-2014, however, Katie and Suri made L.A. their home base.)

After Suri and her family saw Finding Neverland, they did what many tourists in the Big Apple do: they went to Serendipity for frozen hot chocolate and more sweet treats. "We came. We conquered!" Katie, 37, wrote in an Instagram caption. "#serendipity3 #familylove #gratitude."

On Sunday, Katie and Suri visited the Museum of Modern Art.

Life as a single mom hasn't always been easy for Katie, who split from Tom in 2012. As the Kennedys actress explained to People in 2014, she—like many moms—suffers from moments of self-doubt. "Am I enough? Am I doing enough? Have I seen her enough? Guess what? You're not enough. She hasn't seen you enough. You're horrible. That's how it can feel sometimes. You do the best you can. Some days you feel really good about yourself and some days you don't."

Even on her bad days, Katie's love for Suri only grows stronger. "Motherhood is the greatest gift," she told Glamour in 2014. "When I became a mother, my life completely changed." In fact, it wasn't until the actress welcomed her first and only child in 2006 that she realized just "how much love" she had to give. "It's overwhelming. Every day I discover more about this spectacular human being I get to be the mother of."

Suri has been one of the most famous children in Hollywood ever since she made her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair nearly a decade ago. Post-divorce, though, Katie has done everything in her power to give her daughter a "normal" childhood like the one she had. "My family has been so crucial to my outlook on life. I started acting at 17 and had success at an early age, where all of a sudden people knew who I was. But my parents always treated me the exact same way at home and reminded me of gratitude," Katie told Glamour. "And that's been a grounding force."
