Sesame Street Live!!!

Lee and I took Reese to her very 1st show..... a Sesame Street Live performance called Elmo's Green Thumb. Reese absolutely LOVES Elmo, Abby Cadabby and Zoe, but I was a little afraid of how she was going to react at an event like this. Would she like it? Would it scare her? Would she stay in one place for so long?

Thankfully, she had a blast!!! She was dancing while shouting "Elmo Melmo" and "Abby Dabby" over and over again.

Daddy picked out a Zoe doll (which you can see sitting in her lap) as a souvenir from Reese's 1st show. She hasn't let go of this thing since we left the arena.

These are the $8 Elmo balloons that were selling like hot cakes. They brought them out during intermission and people swarmed to them. I couldn't believe how fast people were buying these up. Reese was deprived when it came to these balloons. She was almost successful at taking the one from the little girl sitting behind us though.

We had good seats too. If this were a hockey game we would have been sitting right behind the glass mid-ice. We had no trouble seeing the stage and Telly Monster even walked right past us. Reese reached out her arms like she wanted him to pick her up!

Even Lee and I enjoyed it. We hope to do it again sometime!

Pizza.... a family tradition

Lee's family has been in the pizza business for a long time. He spent much of his youth working at the family owned pizza place in Philadelphia, so he knows a thing or two about how to make a good pie. Last night we started what we think will become one of our own family traditions... family Pizza night.

She kept stealing the toppings and eating them.
