The greatest show on earth...

Happy Friday everyone! We had a great night tonight! It is late, but I had to share these pictures with you! Tonight was Sophie's first trip to the Circus!

One of my most vivid childhood memories was the first time I went to the Circus. I was around five, and it was during the height in popularity of jelly shoes. Yes, I know you guys know what I'm talking about! My Mom and I were walking in and we were met by a clown. A very, very big clown. He came up to me and said, "Do you know why your shoes have holes in them? Its to let all the stink out!!!" I was completely horrified and embarrassed. I will never forget that as long as I live! And its probably the reason I have a certain apprehension of clowns!

Anyway, Sophie's first time was much better! She absolutely loved it!

Getting ready to go...

Look how her hair bow and bracelet match exactly!

I love these little feet (and cute shoes)...

Little cutie...



Loving every minute...



There is nothing better than the true amazement of a child...

Silly Daddy...

A scary clown giving us our VIP passes...
We had front row tickets, but I didn't realize that we got to be part of the show!
It was great! They took us on the floor to watch a big portion of the show!
It was amazing! I felt like a kid again!

Watching the horses...

Sophie's VIP pass and cutest ever gold shoes...


OK, confession...
I thought I looked skinny in the picture so I posted it!
Maybe all the running is finally starting to pay off!

Sophie's favorite part...
The Elephants!

When it was all over, she kept saying, "Yay Circus" and clapping her hands!
It was priceless!

Soo cute! It looks like you all had a great time. I remember my first time going to the circus. I was much older than Sophie; probably 10 and I got to sit on an elephant!
