Elmo Live!

One of our Christmas presents to the girls (okay...maybe just Emmy) was tickets to go see Elmo Live at the Target Center.  We all ventured out into the frigid cold and arrived at the Target Center all decked out in Elmo gear.  Emmy had no idea what we were doing, but got pretty excited when she saw the other kids and all of the Elmo balloons.  She was super excited to ride the escalator. 

Our tickets were for 5:30 pm.  We arrived a few minutes prior to show time.  Our seats were in the 6th row.  About three minutes before the show started, Big Bird's voice came on the loud speaker telling us the show was about to begin.  Emmy got really excited when she heard his voice. 

Bert & Ernie started out the show and then all of a sudden Elmo came out.  Emmy's little lips formed an "O" and she started clapping.  She didn't take her eyes off the show until she said she had to go potty (four different times).  Erin was pretty content throughout the show.  She bounced around a lot between Brad and I, but wasn't bad.  Emmy loves all of the Sesame Street characters, but during the show she was frightened by Cookie Monster.

The show was put together very well and worth every penny. 

We somehow managed to get out of there without purchasing any "Elmo" merchandise.  WooHoo!  The only thing we bought was cotton candy.  I can't stand cotton candy, but thought that Emmy would like a little treat.  PURE SUGAR...yuck.  Of course, she thought it was great!

Here comes Elmo!

 Intermission = Cotton Candy Time!

 Up close!  I told Emmy to run out and give him a high five, but she was too late. 

 Emmy got to shake Abby Cadabby's hand, but I was so excited to take the picture and didn't realize that Emmy wasn't actually in the picture. Emmy was behind the little girl in the black & white checkered outfit. You can see her hand on the little girl's back. 

 Thanks mommy & daddy...that was fun!!!
