Meighan is 5!

Today, our beauty of a daughter turned 5 years old!  She made sure everyone she met today knew it, too!  She wore her Happy Birthday crown to church!  She got to open her gift from us before we got Dawson up so he wasn't in the way and bothering her!  She got a game, some books and a dress.

We then got Dawson up and ate breakfast.  Then she got her new dress on and we all got dressed and went to church.  We left right after church instead of staying for Nativity Parade run-through, made a grocery stop and came home and ate burgers for lunch.  As soon as we were done eating, she and I left to go downtown.

We met my parents at the Orpheum Theater.  They had bought tickets for themselves and Meighan and me to see "Disney's Beauty & the Beast" for our birthdays!  Meighan was SOOOOO excited!  She couldn't wait till the show started and kept asking when it was going to start.  Once it started, she thought it was a pretty "cool" show.  I don't know how many times I heard "This is FUN!", "I like this show!", "This is AWESOME!", "This is cool!" and "I very, very like this show!"  As much as she liked it, the first part got kinda long for a 5-year-old!  She was getting thirsty and very restless.  We got water at the water fountain during intermission.  The second part she thought was kind of boring (I think until the very end, of course).  She actually did VERY WELL for this being her first Broadway show!

MY favorite part of this show is the dance the company does to "Gaston" where they clink their metal mugs together.  That's great choreography!

So, anyway, here's the pictures of the day.

Of course, Misty has to supervise!

In front of the marquee at the Orpheum!  It's COLD!
 
This is a pretty good picture of Meighan but the background didn't show up.
 
So I changed the settings and the background showed up better.  We had really good seats!
 
 
She fell asleep on the way home.  Our tuckered out 5-year-old!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEIGHAN!  WE LOVE YOU!
