"Savior of the World"

 Josh and I have been going to the play "Savior of the World" with my MIL, for the last 4 years.  We were so excited when this year Palmer was old enough to go (you have to be 8).  It is honestly my favorite thing that we do the entire season.  The first act of the play is everything leading up to and including the birth of Jesus Christ.  The second act is after his death and the faith and miracles that came after.  It is amazing and the spirit there is so strong.  I was so excited for Palmer to have a chance to see it.  Josh and I had been in Phoenix  the days before and our flight came in with the perfect amount of time for us to get to the play...
...well, as luck would have it our flight was delayed...twice.  We got there about 30 minutes after the play had started.  But at least we got to see part of it and got to be with Palmer as he experienced it for the first time. 
 It was so much fun getting a little date with Palmer.  We headed to Leatherbys after the play (minus Ann as she had to head home) and got ice cream. 
 There is something wrong with the fact that the adult is having the fat filled (although deliciously filled with homemade caramel and fudge) sundae and the child having the fat free sherbet.  My boys all love sherbet, and I like it but I just can't choose it over caramel and chocolate! 
I am starting to realized that lots of my pictures have me wearing this high bun hair do.  I really didn't think I wore it so that much...but I always happen to get pictures of me when I am wearing it.  Random.
I love getting dates with our boys.  It is always fun to get to be with them one on one.  Palmer is so sweet and said "thank you" a million times that night.  It was definitely one I will remember.

It was fun to be able to share this with Palmer also. He sat nearly spell bound through the whole thing. I agree Emily it is a wonderful tradition.

Super fun! What a great experience for Palmer!

I need to do more Mommy/Daughter dates (individually) with my girls!

This is totally off the topic of your post, but I've been wondering for the longest time where you buy your clothes? You (and your other sisters for that matter) wear the cutest things -- and they are beautifully modest, too! Please enlighten me with some fashion knowledge because I am severely lacking in the fashion department and could use some "fresh" ideas. :)

P.S. I still haven't seen Savior of the World. :( I have the soundtrack, though, and the music is beautiful! My husband and I should really take our oldest to it next year. She'd die and go to heaven. :)
