Today we had a treat! Michael W. Smith was up near Seattle on his Christmas tour and we got to go. The real treat for us was that Christa, my college roommate, tours with him and we got to see her. It has been almost 5 years since we've seen each other so it was exciting to get to see her. Kade had a blast. He loved all the music and getting to meet the guitar player, drummer, piano player (Michael himself), and hanging out with "CJ" (Christa Joy). Another special part of the concert was that Melinda Doolittle was a part of the show. Why is that special? Well, when I was pregnant with Kade we watched American Idol every week and she was on then. In fact, we were watching in the delivery room when Kade was born. We got to tell her that story in person and she thought it was pretty cool. We say a great big THANK YOU to CJ for making time for us today and introducing us to her friends. It truly was a special treat. Enjoy some pics from the day:
Kade and Kyle waiting for the concert to start.
That's Christa in the gold shirt...singing her lungs out!

Smitty playing that piano...He was amazing!!

Here we are with Melinda Doolittle...she's like part of the family since she was hanging out in labor and delivery with us via American Idol. Very precious girl!!!
