Disneyland Trivia
We went to Disneyland a couple of weeks ago. While I was there I noticed a fabulous chandelier. As an Interior Design student it is my job to be observant to all design elements wherever I may be. So, after taking a photo of the one, I began to pay closer attention to all the lighting fixtures and thought it would be a fun trivia challenge for all you Disney fans out there. All the pics come from Disneyland/California Adventure but one. That one comes from a restaurant that we always eat at when we are down there, thus making it part of our Disney experience. I'll post the answers in a few days- so check back!

HaLlOwEeN 2009
When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers,‘tis near Halloween. -19th century Halloween postcard
Our ward Trunk or Treat was the Saturday before Halloween. Lauren went as Elvis which we made from a pair of pants and shirt we found at D.I, then we glued all the sequins on and created that fancy belt buckle by spray painting a paper plate gold. Jace, well he's the Mad Scientist, Dr. Toxic. Also a D.I find- so costumes cost me less than $20 this year!!
There were plenty of friends to be had, a haunted house to haunt and scary amounts of candy to be trick or treated.
Elvis hung out with some groupies and together they made quite a scene.... they too loaded up on candy, too much if you ask me.
If you haven't been to the atrium in the Bellagio, you are missing out. It is always beautifully decorated but it's especially great at the holidays. This year the fall display consisted of these copper trees that seemed to drip water from every leaf.
Giant scarecrows and pumpkins....
Trees that come to life and many other fabulous things. If you didn't catch the fall display there still may be time, but DEFINITELY go for the Christmas display- it never disappoints!
It's Halloween! It's Halloween! The moon is full and bright/ And we shall see what can't be seen On any other night. Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls, Grinning goblins fighting duels/ Werewolves rising from their tombs, Witches on their magic brooms/ In masks and gown we haunt the street /And knock on doors for trick or treat/ Tonight we are the king and queen, For oh tonight it's Halloween!
Halloween night we went to my parents house for tricks and treats. First, dinner in a pumpkin, followed by haunting games with skeleton bones and a witches hat.
All the kids prepared to haunt or charm the candy givers
Lauren and Maddy braved the spooky house
There were even a couple of nerds there. Dorks!
"I said thank-you, thank-you very much"
He's mad! Gone crazy!
Everyone had a great Halloween! Even those who got chased down the street by the ghoulish shovel lady at her haunted house. In fact, they kept going back for more! As usual we ended up with too much candy and a lot of fun!!

I GOT A FEELIN'
That tonight's gonna be a good night.....and it was.
Friday, October 23rd. It could have been an average night, but two little pieces of paper changed all of that. They were tickets to one of the hottest concerts out there- the U2 tour. We were also graced with the presence of their opener, the Black Eyed Peas. The concert was held at the Silver Bowl, which is an outdoor venue. The ticket stated "rain or shine" so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. The weather cooperated, in fact I would venture to say it was IDEAL. Donald and Angie- our official concert buddies, came along too. Overall, I'd say the experience was MAG-NI-FI-CENT (sung like the song of course) !!!

Jason and I pre concert with the CRAZY set behind us.
Capturing a moment of the show.....Here' what we heard:
Breathe/Get on Your Boots/Magnificent /Mysterious Ways/Beautiful Day/I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For/Stuck In A Moment/No Line on the Horizon/Elevation/In A Little While/Unknown Caller/Until The End of the World/Unforgettable Fire/City of Blinding Lights/Vertigo/I'll Go Crazy - Remix Sunday Bloody Sunday/MLK/Walk On/One/Where The Streets Have No Name/Ultraviolet/With or Without You/Moment of Surrender
The Black Eyed Peas were GREAT! They really know how to get the audience going.
This set was amazing! These screens were awesome! I love how they spun around on "Vertigo"
Doesn't get better than this! The classics are classic for a reason. The lighting effect was magnificent!!
