First (big) live show!

The boys saw Veggie Tales live when they were 2 at our church and were kind of young to appreciate it. We went to a college production with friends last year, but we sat far back and the boys did not pay the best attention.
So when Aunt Becca, Uncle Chris, Maddie and Abby gave the boys tickets to Sesame Street Live I was as excited as they were! It turns out it had a super hero theme - which was right up the boys' alley. Tate couldn't make it so Auntie Nancy joined us.
The boys had a blast and I enjoyed watching them each take in the show. Peyton was smiling ear to ear and visibly having a great time. Jackson looked so serious but never took his eyes off the stage and when he got in the car afterward couldn't stop talking about the show. Even though we were super close to the stage I don't think Brett could see the characters, but every time he heard Elmo (who he adores) his whole body would just dance!
Here are some photos from our special day - thank you Aunt Becca, Uncle Chris, Maddie and Abby!

We started with lunch at Chick-fil-A - a favorite treat!

I know this picture didn't turn out well, but the boys were so excited to share their first snow cone I had to include it.

After intermission half the kids in the theater had the Elmo head balloons. Peyton only asked once if we were getting anything and wasn't bothered with I said no. The show ended with confetti falling from the ceiling. The boys enjoyed collecting it to take home!

Couldn't get all three in the picture (Brett on the left and Peyton on the right), but they all conked
out after the show. A quiet car ride home was a treat for me and Auntie Nancy too!

What a perfect present!!! Glad the boys had such a blast. And good for them for not being pestering about the Elmo balloons. Shows what an amazing job you, Tate and family are doing with them! And how funny that your non-nap people fell a sleeep in the car on the way home. They must have been exhausted after having all that excitement and fun!
