ELMO LIVE


Brylen Jean clapping and dancing for Elmo!

The Wild Whitts (minus Dustin)


The Holmies
The Teeples
The Rowdy Robertsons
The Shelley's (or should we call them The Supers)
The Schofieldians

All the kiddos!

Everyone was so excited when we heard Elmo was coming to town. In fact, I think Crystal was happier than the kids. Unfortunately, they put me in charge of getting the tickets. My call to ticketmaster was pretty smooth. I had counted 20 of us going, and the guy on the other end of the phone helped me find seating up close and center. The tickets were emailed, and I told the Holm clan to be ready for Elmo December 17, 2009. Melissa volunteered to reserve the hotel rooms. She's pretty organized, and even called me to verify the dates. Well, on Friday, December 12, I got an email asking how I liked the show. WHAT!? Yup, I told everyone the wrong day. I'm a loser. I made a few phone calls, begged, pleaded, and the fantastic people from the E Center told me they would give us tickets to any other showing. (Big sigh, sobbing stops) So we immediately started the drive to the big city, and enjoyed ourselves some Elmo and overpriced souvenirs and treats. And then we drove home...all in one day. They don't call us the Wild Whitts for nothin'!

I am so happy for all the new Holm girls blog posts I could almost cry! But this story had me laughing too hard! ;) Glad it worked out in the end. Looks like everyone enjoyed it!

Oh, Nettie! It all worked out just fine, and we had super fun! We definitely need to go again next year. Oh, by the way, Disney on Ice is coming up soon.

It sounds like something I would do for sure! I'm glad it all worked out, tho. Also, I love the pic of all the kids; they are all so cute. Cousin/friends are the best!
