Trans-Siberian Orchestra 2010

It's that time of the year again! The Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert was last night and was WONDERFUL as usual! It ended up being a girls night due to the bub's getting sick (he and I usually take my mom for an early birthday present). I got a call at work about 10:30 or so from the bub's saying he was throwing up. No fun! Everyone is sick right now with this nasty flu bug, so now it's his turn. Poor guy! I didn't want to waste an expensive ticket, so I called my very cute sister-in-law up and asked her if she would like to go with us. She mentioned a couple of months ago (when I first purchased the tickets) that she loved going but couldn't get my grumpy brother to go with her (he went once and wasn't super impressed with it). I didn't know if she would be able to go so late minute, but she seemed excited and said she would make it work! I'm so glad she did, too, it was a TON of fun!(sorry - this picture is a little blurry. I asked the kid sitting in front of us to take it!) It was a little different this year (after this first part, of course. They do this story first every time). Usually it's a lot of Christmas music, but this year they ended up playing some of the new stuff they are working on and then just some random songs. I actually liked it quite a bit better! I also loved that it was held at Energy Solutions Arena so we could park at the Gateway and just walk over. Much easier to get to the venue and much easier to get OUT of the venue! Thanks gals for a very fun night out! Even though I feel bad about the bub's being sick, I'm glad things worked out the way they did! Also, big thanks to Jeff for watching the girls so we could steal his wife for the night! Love ya big bro!



(Don't ya just love all the pics with the poor bald guys head in them? I just noticed that!)
