Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving – with no pictures to show for it!  We went down to St. George to visit my parents.  My sister Susan and her husband Rogan and son Asa were there too.  We had a blast – eating great food, playing fun games (Dixit, Bang, Lost Cities, Wyatt Earp, For Sale) and just generally enjoying each other’s company.  What a blast!

Star Wars in Concert

In October we heard that Star Wars in Concert was coming to Salt Lake. We immediately set about trying to find tickets to it, only to
discover that they were pretty pricey.  Nick and I decided not to
mention it to Jacob, as we figured it was not in the budget.

Well, the day of the concert, I was checking the ads on KSL (thanks to
my good friend Nova) and found the tickets for half price!  I was so
excited, and immediately bought tickets for Nick and Jacob to go.

These pictures were taken with Nick’s cell – and needless to say, the
concert was a hit. Before it even started you had the opportunity to
walk around the arena and meet the different Star Wars characters.
They had exhibits, replicas and various representations of the movie.
Jacob was even wearing his “Vader Lives” in honor of the occasion.

The concert itself was incredible.  There was a full orchestra (the
Star Wars orchestra) and a four-story movie screen behind them.  C3PO narrated different scenes/themes from the movie.  Nick and Jacob were completely entranced.

When they got home that night, they were both giddy with excitement.
I am so happy that they had the chance to make such a great memory!
