Wicked!

Maybe it's that all Kansas natives have a special place in their hearts for the Wizard of Oz, but last night we went to see the Broadway hit Wicked and it knocked our socks off ... or at least our red ruby slippers! Jami's 35th birthday present included tickets to see the show touring through Denver this month. (And how great is it to be able to keep celebrating your birthday 3 months later!) We jetted up to Denver and grabbed a bite to eat at a hip bar called Euclid Hall and then walked the 4 blocks over to the Buell Theater to see the show. Our seats could not have been better ... Row 4, front and center! Everything about the production was stellar ... the casting, the costumes, the musical numbers, the emotions ... we loved it all! Hopefully, future birthdays will involve theater tickets because experiences like these are truly the best of memories.

And a special thanks to our babysitter Papa. Not only did he watch the boys for us for the evening, but he also solved a problem with our hot water heater while we were gone. Not many babysitters are also good plumbers!
