My Birthday!!

Kenny planned a wonderful gift for me for my birthday. On Saturday morning we left his Mom and Dad's house and headed to Kansas City for my "gift". The snow was gently coming down all around us while we made the drive (about an hour) and we arrived at the Kansas City Theater.

Kenny had bought tickets for us to see "A Christmas Carol"! It was such an amazing show! The stage was unbelievable and there were trap doors and moving parts and flashing lights, smoke and SNOW! Really, it was amazing! The ghosts were SCARY and towards the end of the show all the cast came out singing "Oh come all ye faithful" as if they were caroling in the streets. They came down the aisles and all around the audience. I actually started crying. It was just so touching. As you can tell I LOVED the play!
After the show we drove downtown to stay at the Hyatt Crowne Plaza hotel (Wow!) it's directly attached to the Crowne Center and quite a fancy place :) We went shopping at the Crowne Center shops. We were looking for a topper for our Christmas tree. It would have been a neat reminder of our trip, and especially neat because this will be our first married Christmas. We never found just that right one, but we sure had a lot of fun looking!
Kenny took me to dinner at a sweet little restaurant and afterwards we went outside in the snow to see ALL the Christmas lights and the giant Mayor's Christmas tree. There was also a beautiful ice skating rink. So Fun!
We stayed the night in our beautiful hotel room and it really was one of the best birthdays EVER!!

Thank you Kenny, I LOVE You!!
