Cinderella



Back in February I took Emma to see Cinderella at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. After the ballet was over, we got to go on stage and meet Cinderella and her Prince, take pictures with them and have a snack. Emma had such a great time and really enjoyed the ballet. Her favorite part was Cinderella's step-sisters, they were played by men and were very comedic. After the ballet was over and we were all applauding, Emma started yelling "Brabo! Brabo!" and screaming at the top of her lungs, it was really funny.

It was really nice to take her and be by ourselves. I would definitely like to make taking her to the ballet more of a tradition for us.

Oh and I forgot to mention how funny it was that she went up there and sat so nice. A lot of the other little girls were sitting with their legs open in dresses and I mentioned to her, "When you go take your picture make sure to cross your legs because you're wearing a dress." You can see the resulting picture.

Our trip to Miami and Key West, FL

Travis and I took a trip to Florida in January. He had a CLE (continuing legal education) seminar there. It also just happened to be when OU was playing in the National Championship Game there in Miami so we went to that too. We have wanted to visit Key West for a long time now and decided to take the opportunity to drive down there after the seminar was over. The drive down A1-A was breathtaking, but did take forever to get there! KW was so worth the drive and we both left wishing we had more time to spend there.

We plan to go back to KW in June for my 30th birthday and I can't wait to get back to my hammock next to the ocean!
