Our pretty fairy - Bella.
Nathaniel stayed home this year playing the computer. Ami was pippy longstocking, Bella a fairy and Lexie a cat.
Roxanne came to go trick or treating with us! She was some kind of rocker chick (I think!). Kevin came also and slept on our couch...
Tacoma Dome
A picture of us in our seats in the Tacoma Dome!
There she is.....
It was such a fun concert - she is so awesome live!
After buying tickets last November it was finally time to go!!! Roxanne met us there and checked us into our hotel (nice having a sister who works for Marriott!). We went out to eat at McGill's Fish House.
I convinced my friend Kim to come with us and I gave a ticket to my mom as her Christmas/Birthday present - we all waited so long...
I bought tickets to Phantom of the Opera earlier in the year and it was finally time to go!
The girls and I drove to Seattle (by ourselves!!!) and after driving around looking for a parking spot and then walking a ways to the theater... we made it just in time!
We were all the way up on the 3rd balcony but we brought Nathaniel's binoculars to help us see better. Alexa was too short to see when she sat back on her seat so she spent much of the show on my lap.
We loved all the singing, dancing and acting (the costumes were also spectacular!). The two sopranos (Carlotta and Christine) were fabulous as were the Phantom and Raoul (though the phantoms face was scary...)
A lady in our ward sent around an email asking if anyone wanted to buy their trampoline since they were moving and we have always wanted a big one! So... she just lived up the hill from us and rather than have to take it apart and then put it back together... We carried it all the way home!
Mike and the kids were balancing it on their heads for most of the way.
We passed the home of another friend and she offered to take our picture! (Notice Bella's lovely pants...).
