Taylor Swift!

 The big day finally came! Taylor! Their first concert. These kids have been waiting for this day (and planning their outfits) for a long time. Leah bought these earrings in the Spring with her own money. Juliet so wanted to look "big" and "grown up". She found this little pleather skirt at Nordstrom and thought it was perfect. Leah wanted one, too, and ended up getting it for her birthday. I got them the shirts of Etsy. 

 We dyed their hair, too. It's a little hard to tell, but Juliet's hair is blue(ish) and Leah's is purple(ish). 

 It took FOREVER to get to the show. It seriously took us about an hour to go the last 1 mile. Overall, we were in the car for almost 2 hours just to get there. Leah was completely beside herself holding back tears because she thought we were going to miss the show. We ended up missing one of the opening acts, but saw Camila Cabello's entire act (Havana Oo Na Na) and, of course, all of Taylor. Aunt Nicole hooked us up with great parking. We were going to meet up with a few of Leah's friends in the parking garage, but because we were late, we weren't able to. Chris and I had a few beers at the show to relax after the car ride. 

 It was so sweet to watch them watch the show. I told Chris I watched them more than I watched Taylor. They loved singing and dancing along. It was a great show with lots of energy. I especially loved that Taylor came off so kind and gracious when she talked to the audience. 

We had pretty good seats. The girls just stood on their chairs and they were adult size. They loved dancing and singing. Everyone who came to the show got bracelets. They all lit up sometimes differently, sometimes the same. During one song, they made little hearts all over the stadium. At other times, they blinked along with the beat. Taylor said it's because she was playing such big venues, she wanted to make sure she could still "see" every person, even the people in the very back rows. It was sweet. 

 She had a great set up with different sets and some pretty cool dances. Leah loved when they dropped confetti from the ceiling. She was picking up as much as she could and shoving it into my (ridiculously small--per stadium rules) purse. 

 There were 3 stages. 2 were pretty close to us. This is (a crappy shot of) her traveling in a little balcony thing to one of the other stages. 

 Teddy stayed with Aunt Renee and got a great report. We were so thankful for the opportunity to do something with our "big girls". It was a great night!
