For Deb's birthday her in-laws Harvey and Wendy gave her two tickets for the Lion King!!Harv and Wendy are season ticket holders for the Gammage Auditorium in Phoenix and long ago Wendy had asked Deb if she would like to see it and of course she said, "YES!" But as time went by Deb totally forgot all about the conversation and so when her birthday came and Wendy gave her those tickets she was totally blown away.
Of course Deb would take Emily since she is so into dance and musicals and I think she was just as excited as Deb was for it.
They got ready for their night and Jason came home early from work and off they went to the Gammage. Emily had never been there before so she was in awe at the size of the auditorium and the cool look of the large round building.
They had great seats and of course had to purchase tokens to bring home with them. Emily bought a Zazu and Deb picked up some smaller stuffed toys for the other kids who had stayed home with Jason.
Once seated in the theater Emm kept asking when it would start and once it did she was silent the whole time except for the odd time when she would lean over and comment on how cool it was or the fact that a certain song wasn't in the Lion King movie :)
It was an incredible performance and has made Jason and Deb discuss the possibility of becoming season ticket holders themselves or at least for the time being to keep an eye on what is at the Gammage and to pick up some tickets for shows that all of the kids might like.
Overall, a wonderful night and as for a first musical for both Emm and Deb, the memories will stay with them forever!

How fun!!! I'm glad you had a great birthday, Deb. I always think of you at this time of year since you and J.D. have the same birthday. His was a Star Wars birthday. I hope to post pictures soon on our blog.
That is so cool. I would love to go to something like that.
BTW I love your new background. It is so fitting.
