Disney on Ice

 For all of our birthdays this year, Jared and Kristen got us tickets to go see Disney on Ice. The show was 10 days ago and it was awesome!! We all enjoyed it, including Ellie who loved all the bright lights and characters skating around on the ice.
  I've also learned that my girls need to learn how to show excitement. And wear shoes. Abby threw the biggest fit EVER because she didn't want to wear tennis shoes. Holy cow. It was over the top.
  And the lack of excitement...man, it was bad.  I asked Kate if she enjoyed the show and she said yes, of course (...I would hope), but watching her throughout the show it looked like she could not have been less impressed. Abby was slightly better, showing excitement when Elsa and Anna came onto the ice.
  This is our second Disney on Ice and we'll most likely go to more in the future, but we definitely need to work on popping that bubble of theirs that is holding back all of their excitement.

Here we are before the show
During

The first part of the show was Toy Story 3.  It went on longer than needed for a Disney movie that I don't think is all that popular with kids, at least not mine, but the girls showed just as much excitement for Rex as they did Elsa. :)
Little Mermaid was next.  The costumes were so beautiful and colorful.
Cars came out after the intermission.  It was neat to see them "skating" around on the ice.
Mickey and Minnie were introducing the new segments as they came out.  
Frozen was the last movie to be featured on ice.  They were great, singing all the songs from the movie.

Ellie was happy to see herself in my camera.  
The amount of excitement in this picture is almost too much.

  A wonderful show with my most favorite people.  We'll work on the excitement part later. :)
