It felt like we took a ton of pictures, but when you're taking them of yourselves it takes a ton to get a good one. So keep that in mind...
Here we are in our matching shirts, that I had made. Don't worry, we get a close up of the shirt later.
We arrived a couple hours early, to tailgate. Yes, my Mom & I tailgated at the Celine concert! We even brought a "boom box" and listened to her Cd's. Here's a picture of my Mom, setting up the table. Did I mention we were having a classy tailgate party?
We dined on AJ's fine Foods. We had a cheese ball w/ crackers, a macaroni salad, a broccoli salad, a fruit salad, olives, and sparkling (blood orange) cider. Delicious!
Cheers to us!
We brought a vase, and made a little arrangement for our table. :)
A nice old couple offered to take our picture. This was the best one, out of the 4 he took. He was having a hard time centering and focusing.
Our yummy desserts: a pumpkin cheesecake and a fruit tart. Yum!
Cheese!
One last "Cheers" before we go in.
A view of the stage, from our seats. ( That's without zooming!)
Are we excited, or what?
Here's a close-up of our shirts.
And there she is! (Someone threw that frog on stage, and she carried it around with her for awhile.)
I'm almost in tears, just looking at the pictures...
Belting it out...
There she is on the big monitor.
And there she is, on stage, in front of us!
She sang "My Heart Will Go On" for her final encore song. Those twinkling candles came down from the sky, ans she rose up from the center. It was amazing, hair raising, goose bump causing.
And then it was over, 2 hours and 7 costume changes after it began. She said she's been singing for 20 years, and I'm pretty sure I've been her #1 fan that whole time! And after 20 years, she's still amazing on stage, and her voice is still perfect.
It's all over, but what a great night, that I'll never forget!Thanks for the ticket, Honey! And thanks for being fanatical right along with me, Mom!
I had a blast!

You rock! Seriously. How fun is that?? I wish I had something I got that excited about (but I'm sure Jerod doesn't - ha!). I'm sending him this post at work, just so he can shake his head and mutter under his breath. Ü And I seriously LOVE that you tailgated! Did anyone look at you sideways??
Wow...this is hilarious. You are so funny. I love the vase on your guys' table. AhhhH! I do love Celine, but I'm pretty sure nowhere near as much as you!
When are you guys available around Xmas. We're there from the 21st to the 2nd. Let us know...we definitely want to get together.
The two of you are hereby prohibited for giving me ANY GRIEF whatsoever for my affinity to Nine Inch Nails. mmm K?
:P
Yay, it looks like you guys had such a great time. I love the "fine dining" tail gate party that you had. Scott and I heard Celine's "I drove all night" (I think that is what it is called, sorry not quite the fan that you are) and started talking about you. Not quite sure why, but Scott breaks out into "air driving" and it totally reminds us of you! Miss you lots. The girls need to see their "aunt Karli"
ahhh, I'm so jealous right now. I would LOVE to go to a concert. What a great present from Rob. How is he ever going to top that?
you and your mom are too darn cute. glad you had such a great time!
Eeeeeee! I'm squealing for you! Celine! You and your mom are seriously the cutest, most beautiful mother/daughter combo alive! I love the details with the tailgating! You guys are so dang adorable! The shirts, the tags, the fine dining, the smiles! It looked like perfection and I'm so happy you had the time of your life. I love you!
I was having fun just seeing the pics of you two. And, yes, I was so sad I couldn't go, having already experienced the whole concert atmosphere with you two. Hopefully next so I can continue my album as well. Great memories for you!!! Love you both
Only you and your mom would tailgate (if you want to call what you did tailgating) at a Celine concert. Anytime a vase or "fine dining" is involved, it cannot be considered tailgating.
