Who knew I could keep a secret.....

The surprise of the century was accomplished on Friday! My friend, Shanna, had come to me one day and said "Hey, Hannah Montana is coming to Vegas do you want to see if we could get tickets?" I said "sure", not really actually thinking we would. Past shows had been sold out in seconds after going on sell . So, the day came to purchase tickets. Prayers were said, internet speeds were set to a higher capability and our fingers were ready. Six hours later, Shanna and I had Hannah Montana tickets. And not for just any day, but one of the most special days of the year, Aliya's birthday. What could be more perfect. Shanna and I decided to keep this amazing opportunity a secret until the very day of the concert. We picked the girls up from school and took them into Shanna's SUV and told them what we were doing for Aliya's birthday. This will forever be one of my favorite memories.

Aliya is still not sure what is going on at this point.

She is definitely excited about what is going on!!



All of the girls were ecstatic about the concert, except poor Allysah. (I hope I am spelling it right Shanna.) She didn't want to leave school early because she was going to miss out on her party. She perked up shortly after and had a fun night.
The girls all crimped and sparkled up thanks to Shanna's cute niece.

We went to this great place called the Elephant Bar for dinner. All the girls took turns taking a picture with the birthday girl. Shanna's girls are the cutest girls ever. Their daddy is not gong to like it when they are teenagers.

My favorite thing about Aliya is her excitement for everything. She is always crazy and happy!! Good combo!

Pretty Birthday girl with Elephant glasses on!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to Aliya!! Happy Birthday to you!!! Our waiter was awesome by the way.
I didn't get pictures, but Shanna's family and friends joined us for dinner. They are all awesome. And Shanna's friends were cracking me up! Such a fun dinner.

We finally got to the concert!! Here is the gang in our second seat change. If you want to know the story , just ask!!My Eight year old girl!! Is that possible?

There's Hannah!! Our third seat change was awesome!!

Aliya with Miley on the big screen!!

So fun!! What a great performer that girl is!

Aliya having the best time. She wanted me up singing and dancing the whole time with her. What a fun girl!

For the Encore, Billy Ray came out and sang with her. It was awesome! Does it sound like I enjoyed this concert more than my daughter? I may have!

All tuckered out and ready to head home!!I can't even explain to you what a great night this was. I got to spend an unforgettable night with my daughter on her birthday and I will never forget it. I am sure Aliya will remember her eighth birthday forever!!
P.S. Thanks to Angie for watching my boys. I don't leave them much and knowing they were with someone I completely trust was awesome.
