Early Christmas gift

Great hair!  Great boots!

My girls and I absolutely love Mindy Gledhill's music, so when I saw she was coming to Pocatello to do a Christmas concert I knew we had to be there! Becky loves her music, too, so we planned a fun early gift for our girls.  Becky's girls got to skip school and spend the weekend with us, and we had a great time. 

Even though I had already bought the tickets, I entered all of my family members in a contest to win free tickets.  I absolutely knew we would win, and sure enough, the winner was............my dad!  When the Journal called to tell him he had won, he said, "I don't know what you're talking about!  I didn't enter any contest.  You'd better talk to Benita!"  Then he handed her the phone and she accepted two free tickets a little more graciously than he had been doing.  I wasn't sure my dad would love the concert, but he did!  He said with her voice, Mindy Gledhill could make any song sound beautiful.  High praise indeed!

We were all excited for the concert to start.  Doesn't Dad look excited?

 

We got to meet her after the show, and she was kind enough to take pictures with us and autograph our cds and sheet music.   She is so talented and so nice, too!

Mindy is so cute and made us all consider getting pixie haircuts!  Don't be surprised to see a lot less hair in the Symons and Phillips families!
