A few weekends ago, my sister, cousins, and aunts had the privlege and beloved opportunity to go see the Neil Diamond concert in Salt Lake. I did a post about Neil Diamond and our family's obsession for him like three years ago...check it out here.
When my mom and her sister's went to that concert three years ago, they were caught on the news. How embarrassing is this? The first people they interview are my mom, my Aunt Linda, and my Aunt Sue. My mom is the most embarrassing..."THAT's NOT MINE!!" and what can I even say about her dancing? The cameraman who caught this gem probably got a raise because it's so good. We know this clip exists because my Uncle Lynn, their brother, was home relaxing that night and just so happened to see his sisters pop up on the news. Yikes.
Anyway, this year, all the nieces had the joy of going along. What can I say, except that it was AMAZING? We sang and danced like no tomorrow. When Neil sang, "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" my Aunt Linda shouted at a very silent moment, "I will Neil!!!!" Our whole section turned around and looked at us in unison. Man, I was so embarrassed. Just kidding, Linda.
Che' decided to take it upon herself to make us some nifty t-shirts. Aren't we just so cool? They say "Neil's Number 1 Fan-ily" If you can't read it.
Each of us had a nickname posted on the back. They were hilarious:
Kim- Killin' It Kim
Mari Ann- Masta Fan Mari Ann
Carlie- Kickin' Carl
Cortney- Naughty Nort
Sue- Sassy Suzie
Jennifer- Jammin' Jen
Linda- Luscious Linda
Che'- Shakin' Che
I just love my family and love that we have such a great time together!!!

haha oh yes... the neil diamond obsession! :) That is HILARIOUS your mom was on the news... she is so dang funny!
Lovin the shirts and the nick names!
I think it's so funny that no one understands the Neil love. Pretty much all my comments say something to the effect of "help me understand". Quite humorous. These people don't know what they are missing.
Oh my goodness we LOVE Niel at our house!!How fun! I'll admit I didn't know much about him till I married a closet Neil fan:)Now I'm hooked!
SO FUN! And yes, right now I should be paying the bills but I am caught up in reading everyone's posts about the FABULOUS Neil concert. How irresponsible am I? Ahh...what the heck? Neil is a higher priority. HA HA!
