The stage at the conference center. Beautiful! When we got there, David was practicing!
This was the best picture we could take of him. It's from the jumbo screens that flank the stage.
Knowing that Syd-Syd loves David Archuleta, I tried to get the free tickets to the Mo Tab's Christmas Concert where he was the guest singer. We didn't get them. I had a bunch of neighbors that didn't get them and we were all trying to find some so they could made their cute daughters happy, too!
Well, Grandma and Grandpa Arveseth did get them and were going to attend with Dwight and Norma. As it turns out, since Grandpa Arvy was sooo sick (we heard today that it's pneumonia), Grandma gave us the tickets!! Sydney was in heaven!
The concert was the night of the funeral. Everyone was pretty worn out from the activities of the day, but Mike-being the sweetheart that he is-drove the girls and me to the conference center so we wouldn't have to deal with the crowds and traffic and craziness. We got there early (a lesson learned from last year's concert where I had tickets but arrived too late and they wouldn't let us in), and had great seats!
The concert was awesome! They had dancers, lots of singing, David was so cute and he has an amazing voice-so fun to hear him live-and the guest narrator was Michael York who did a great job telling the story of the start of the Mo Tab choir and then reciting part of the Christmas story from Luke. We loved every minute!
And thanks to my wonderful hubby-we just met him up the street and he drove us home. We didn't have to deal with the horrendous crowds and traffic. That made my night! It was fun to hang out with the girls and spend the night doing something Christmasey. Thanks, Jim & Renae! Although we are so sorry you had to be so sick in order for us to go!!!

You made it! Or was it just Mike? Did you get there at 4PM??? Glad it was a success. And love the pics of Grandma's funeral. I took some shots of that moment with Syd and Jim too. It was tender. Love you!
