An Amazing Three Year Re-Birthday!

Wow, what a great night!  It is so awesome that with Christian groups you can actually meet and talk with them.  I told Hannah how lucky she should feel that she has had the chance to meet Hawk Nelson three times and be in the front row for each concert.  That is an opportunity I never had when I was a kid.

These guys are true sweet hearts.  There is nothing put on with them, they are genuine and that is really special.  Though they may think Hannah and I are stalkers, they sure didn't treat us like that.



The guys seemed to be thrilled to get their shirts.  As soon as Dan saw them he looked at Jason and said, "It's the Hawk shirt!" with excitement.  Well worth the time they took to make.


Hannah's t-shirt was dedicated to the drummer, Justin Benner, because of his sweetness in saving his drumsticks for her at the last concert.  I wish you could have seen the joy her shirt brought to him, it made me so happy!


We also got to meet the headlining band, Family Force 5.  I did not know what to excpect, but they were great!


Because we had VIP tickets, we were able to have the meet and greet with the bands, but we also got a special acoustic set, that was hilarious and tons of fun!






I am sure you can't tell from this picture how happy we were!


The first band who played was Manafest.  Jon from Hawk Nelson played the guitar with them and it was terrific!  He is such an incredible musician!



When Hawk Nelson took the stage, Hannah and I were in our glory.  Front row, yet again, so we had the best views of...

Jason Dunn

Daniel Biro (he is actually pointing right at Hannah in this pic)







 Jon Steingard



 And, though he is hard to see, Justin Benner.





The snow was falling (yes indoors, during the show) and everyone was filled with Christmas cheer!



Life is to be celebrated and enjoyed.  We all need to stay focused on the blessings we have been given.  Each day is a gift and we must treasure it!
