The Nightmare Before Christmas

Kevin and his brother Ramon share a love of the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and wanted to go see it in the theater in 3-D but we couldn't find it anywhere this Halloween. Instead my in-laws invited us over for dinner on Sunday night and to watch the movie. We had a great time and are glad we got to see the movie this year!

Welcome Back Potter

Because Kevin is going to be in the next show at the Desert Star they gave us complimentary tickets to go see the show that is currently playing on Halloween night. It's called "Welcome Back Potter" and is a spoof of Harry Potter & Welcome Back Cotter. It is the kids 10 year high school reunion. One of our friends is in the cast and did a great job (way to go Todd!). We had a great time and laughed really hard. Also,"Scripture Chase" has a whole new meaning to me and I will use it often. If you have time in the next two weeks go see it before it closes.

Halloween Costumes

As you all know Halloween was last weekend. We had a fun time seeing everybody's costumes and sharing in some of the fun of the kids.

Grammy - a Scaredy Cat

The Nelson's

The Hadley's (sans Aspen...we love you!)

Eliana - a Princess

Lexie - Princess Ariel

Cadence - Fairy Princess

Joel - Thomas Enthusiast?

Jaden - Buzz Lightyear

Lincoln - Pea in a Pod

Afternoon Tea Party

Last weekend my Mother-in-Law took us girls to the Grand America for their Afternoon Tea Party. None of us fancy real tea so we got cider or hot chocolate. We tried some very interesting food, some we liked and some not so much, and had great conversation. Their desserts were truly delicious. You'll see a picture below of a flower in a glass. It started out as this little ball and when they add hot water it blooms and then becomes Jasmine Tea...very cool! It took us a while to find a time when everyone could come but it was well worth the wait. Thanks Kitty!

Quality Family Time

On Friday we headed down to hang out with Kevin's brother and sister in Orem. We had intended to stay the night but ended up coming home because of Kevin's rehearsal (see last post). We had a ton of fun for the few hours that we were there. Tony & Abby took us to a new restaurant called La Jolla Groves (http://lajollagroves.com/) and the food was super yummy. I may have to go back and have the Chicken Crepes...delicious. After that we met Joannie & Brady at the Cocoa Bean (on University Pkwy in Provo) for dessert. This is Kevin's favorite treat when he is anywhere near Utah County. After that we headed back to Tony & Abby's to watch an episode of Modern Family...we love that show!

We want to thank Tony & Abby for being willing to host us whenever we feel like getting way. We love you guys!

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Okay, so I'm sure most of you have already heard the good news so this post is for those of you who haven't already heard. Kevin was contacted by the Desert Star Playhouse (desertstar.biz) last week and asked to come down and audition for a last minute part in their Christmas show (one of the cast members got a job in New York and had to leave right away). After a whirlwind audition he received a call on Friday night @ 10 pm and offered the part as Santa Claus. He had to be at rehearsal the next morning at 7:30 am. He only has 2 more weeks of rehearsal until the show opens. They move FAST!! The show is called "Christmas Vacation: The Bi-Polar Express" and is going to be really funny. For those of you who have never been there they do spoofs/parodies of other shows. There are 3 casts for the busy holiday season and each cast has 8 members. He is one of an elite group. I am so proud of him and can't wait to see him work his magic with the Magic Snow Globe...zing! (You'll get it after you see it).

I'll post more information on which shows he will be performing in when we get his schedule. I know he'd love for everyone to come and see him.

Side Note: Kevin has had the opportunity to play Santa a couple of times before so he should settle into the role in no time!
