Voice Male and Christmas Fun

I am going to date myself in this post. When I was a freshman in college there was a new "band" on the scene. I immediately fell in love with one of the members who was also a freshman. We never met, he went on a mission and he left the band. The next year I was roommates with girls who knew another member of said band. His brother also lived across the way from us and I dated his roommate. This was back in 1996 when I fell in love and 12 years later I am still in love. The band.... Voice Male. They are all accapella and are AMAZING. If you have not heard them google them and listen. Everything they do is with their mouth.
They do an annual Christmas concert up here and every year I have had something going on. This year I did not so I went. My hubby is not a fan of the band but my son is so I took him.
I decided to make a day of it. That morning we woke up to falling snow. It fit the mood of the day. We headed out and decided to shop first. Alex was able to buy for everyone on his list. Then off we went to the concert. I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Now you have to understand these guys are probably all in their late thirties yet act like they are stil freshmen. There jokes were so corny but they made you laugh. It was an amazing concert.
Afterwards I continued a family tradition that started over 40 years with my mom and her dad. We went and had ice cream at the Bluebird and even sat at the soda fountain where my mom sat. My mom had taken me there when I was in school up here so this is now the 4th generation exposed to the magic of that place. We enjoyed our desserts and then headed out in the majestic snow. It was sad to see our "date" end but we had to get home to babysit. Thanks Alex for enjoying the magic of Christmas and a touch of nostalgia with your mom.

Mom and Alex off on our date.
