Disney on Ice

We went to Disney on Ice on Thursday night, and had a great time.  I have to say, I was sure that my 2 year old daughter would love it (and she did!) and was cautiously optimistic that my 6 year old twin boys would enjoy it as well.  I was a little worried when they looked at the program and made a couple of comments to the effect of, "Why did you bring us here?  Princessses are for girls."  By the time we were 5 minutes into the beginning of the program, the boys were on the edge of their seats looking at everything and my little girl was enraptured. 

I was totally impressed too; the costumes were gorgeous, the set and props spectacular and oh to have been one of the little girls in the front row who had Cinderella's slipper tried on their foot as part of the performance!

We were lucky enough to receive tickets for the family (along with VIP treatment) from Feld Entertainment, the company that does the Disney on Ice productions, but even if we had purchased our tickets, I would have been so pleased.  The value received for the price of the ticket was spectacular.  Especially since you can get discounts on your tickets by going to Ticketmaster and entering the code MOM.  (Scroll down to my earlier post for more information about disounts.)

I had fun at the Disney on Ice Princess Classics production, but I will never forget the look on my daughter's face;  she just glowed though the whole performance.  The boys had loads of fun noticing the small details, like the advancement of the clock toward midnight while Cinderella danced with the prince.

I had so much fun, I can't wait to hear when Disney on Ice will be coming back around next year!

I'm back with bells on!

It seems like forever since I have posted.  We are finally feeling better after almost a month out of circulation.  We got hit by H1N1 in our family and it knocked us for a loop.  We are all fine, but blogging fell by the wayside for a while.

The good news is, I am back and ready to blog my little heart out.  The better news is a have a couple of really cool givaways coming this weekend.  One is for my readers in MN and western WI who can travel to the Xcel Energy Center for a very special show.  The next is for all of my readers, no matter where they may be.

Just a few hours and I will be posting the juicy details on the first giveaway.  Let the fun begin!
