We were even able to go two years ago after we had moved here but last year being very pregnant and now this year with an almost 1 year old, traveling isnt feasible.
When I heard a local church was doing a Christmas concert (and the lead pastor used to be a pastor on staff at Willow) I immediately got tickets. We scheduled a babysitter and were off to make a new Colorado Lockwood tradition!
When we got into our seats we quickly realized how absolutely awful the seats were!! We were so far to the left we couldn't see half the stage. Then once it started they put about 8 vocalists and the guitarist right in front of us, we could only see about 30% of the stage. I was pretty upset considering we paid full price for the tickets!! (Which already, really?! A church event and we had to pay? But whatever.)
Overall it was a decent concert, but with how terrible our seats were, we certainly wouldn't go back.
Afterwards we went to PF Changs for apps and drinks. Best part of our evening for sure!! Just me and Jason chatting it up at the bar. So us.
We didn't start a yearly tradition with the concert but we'll try to find something adultish and christmas-y for a night out without the kid(s) then followed up with apps and drinks out. I love that. And love the precious time Jason and I get on our date nights! It costs a small fortune after paying for a sitter but we can't ever get that much needed adult conversation unless we make it a priority. It's so needed and valued by us. Love you Jason! And love our little Christmas-y tradition we are keeping alive!
Fabulous!! Date nights are so great for parents
