Blue Christmas

This past weekend Andy and I headed to Greensboro to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday! I secretly got her tickets to go see Christmas with Elvis at the Barn Dinner Theater, which by the way is a super cool place and I highly recommend you go at least once if given the chance. She was completely clueless up until the guy introducing everyone came on stage. I mean there were posters and cards everywhere. Just before "Elvis" came on she excitedly asked if this was an "Elvis" show. Man, that was great! Anyway, the show was really good. Elvis shook every man's hand and kissed every lady on the cheek before the night was over. He even serenaded my mom at the beginning. I don't think I'd ever seen her smile that big! The barn opens maybe about an hour and a half before the show actually starts and there is a buffet so you get to eat and enjoy your company before the show. Then they clear away the buffet tables and lower the stage. It was so cool! Thanks to James and Echo we were able to spend the night in Greensboro and visit my home church, too. That in itself was EXTREMELY refreshing. It's crazy how you don't realize how much you miss something until you go back and revisit it.
