Taylor Swift Concert! To Ashleigh, Zack, & Alli



Andy bought me tickets to see Taylor Swift for my birthday! We went last night and it was amazing! So, one minute she was singing on the stage and the next, she was in my isle, singing "Hey Stephen" (my favorite song) Everyone was screaming and going crazy and climbing on the chairs, it was really cool. When she was done with the song she came down the isle and greeted everyone! Thankfully I was in the isle seat (thanks honey!) and got to shake her hand...am I the coolest aunt ever or what! (Ashleigh, Zack, and Alli are big fans!) In this picture she is hugging the girl across the way from me (The pictures aren't great, I guess we're not true fans because I didn't even think to bring a camera, these were taken with Andy's phone) In the other picture she is hugging the 15 year old girl Andy let take his spot (he figured it would mean more to her) what a sweet guy! If you get the chance I highly reccommend going to her concert, it was really good.

Abby's Tinker Bell Party

This was Abby's Tinkerbell Cake. I am crazy busy right now and so went with a bakery cake. It was my first time buying one and it was really good. I'm not sure I'll ever go back to making my own...it was too easy.

For the party the kids painted little treasure boxes and then "bedazzled" them. After that we played some games including "Tinker, Tinker, Tinker,...BELL!" as see here. Think duck duck goose.

Abby loved this game and always wanted to be it.

After that we went on a treasure hunt. The kids put their wings on, I sprinkled them with pixie dust, and off we went on our adventure. I'll have to admit I think I got some real bonus points for this one...after it was over the kids said this was the "best birthday party ever!" That made all the hard work worth it + I scored some way cool mom brownie points.

Abby opened her presents and then we had cake and icecream.

Abby's little friends are so cute and were so fun to have at the party. Even Dean, the only boy at the party was a good sport through it all!
