Pumpkins, Jan, and Gaga!

 

We had a full week last week with a visit from Jan, Lady Gaga's Jazz and piano concert, and pumpkin carving!

Niko was impressed with how we clean up

It was an incredible show.  We caught her first night back on stage since COVID, and Gaga was so candid.  She broke songs to laugh with the audience, she was funny, real, and just so talented.  I can't say I know a lot of jazz, but it felt like such a classic Vegas show!  My favorites were her jazz renditions of her hits while she played piano and sang.  She did Bad Romance, Poker Face, and Born This Way.  It was a really fun night!

The weather was gorgeous for most of Jan's visit!

My Blippi pumpkin is a huge hit with Nikolai!

Game time at Bryan's taco night!

I pack Alexander's school snack in a paper bag.  Niko decided he wanted one, too....

Already drinking from a brown paper bag?! Uh oh!

Weare always sad to see Jan go, but are looking forward to Halloween!
