The 11 year old little girl in me was squealing inside just as much as my girls!!
Super excited...making their way out of the hotel to go to the concert.
Can't wait!!!
The girls planned their outfits two weeks beforehand.
They used plain shirts that we had around the house.
I just provided the paint and fabric and sparkles.
Looking lovely and ready to go.
I loved how great their shirts turned out.
They had awesome ideas!
Multi-tasking
I love this girl!!!
You know Tam and family moved to Armstrong (1 hour away) in February so time together has become an even more cherished thing.
The ride into the city on the sky train.
To say the girls got a little attention would be an understatement.
In our seats!!
Taylor!
The big frames were HD screens.
They moved all over at the back and played live views of Taylor along with other videos and pictures.
So cool!
Sorry about the quality of the pictures, I only brought my phone.
"Speak Now"
Taylor is at the top in purple.
Girlfriend played so many different instruments including a rhinestone encrusted guitar, a banjo, this little ukulele, a turquoise guitar with koi fish on it, and a white sparkly grand piano.
It was September 11 so she sang an Alan Jackson song as a tribute.
She had "Where were you when the world stopped turning?" written in sharpie on her left arm.
Full on ballet.
Beautiful.
Look who we bumped into...Teacher Amber!!
"TAYLOR Swift's youngest FAN"
Cambri was a little angel baby all night.
Don't worry, I covered her ears when the teenie-boppers were screaming!!
Souvenirs
Best moment of the evening...
Taylor, in a golden sparkly gown, floated over the crowd singing "Love Story".
She floated really close to us and the girls were all convinced that she waved right at them.
We have a movie of it...watch closely,you be the judge...
Oh and notice the golden confetti falling from the sky near the stage.
So pretty!!
If Taylor is coming to your area, I highly recommend you grab some tickets and take your daughters..or mother, or sisters, or friends...it was a magical evening.
The highlight for me?
Looking over at my girls and seeing the wonder in their eyes as they sang along. They were mesmerized and so happy. I know that it will be a night they remember for their entire lives.
(stick with me...there's a video at at the end!!!)

The kids are obsessed with lockers. This is something we do not have in our {home}school. Today they were talking about a hilarious poem about a locker. (They saw this on Good Luck Charlie) They decided to act it out for their first day project.
We had such a great time with the Obwald family when we were in Fresno. We had so much fun on so many occasions that this topic deserves it's own post!
I went to elementary school with Dave and junior high and high school with Erin. These friendships go way back and seem to get stronger with the years.
I loved spending time with this special family, letting our kids play together while we catch up.
Such great times.
