An Okee Dokee Feast Day

Okee Dokee Brothers at Wild Rumpus

December 13 was the Feast of St. Lucy, so in honor of our Goddaughter's feast day, we went out to an Okee Dokee Brothers concert! The concert was at Wild Rumpus bookstore in Minneapolis, and it was packed. We found ourselves some seats on the floor, with just enough room for Luci and Max to stand up and dance... although Max did more standing than dancing. I decided that he gets a little star-struck when he sees the Okee Dokee Brothers in person. At home, he dances and sings to their songs, he builds likenesses of Justin and Joe out of Play-Doh, and he plays a cardboard banjo, pretending to be Justin. But when he is in their presence, he can do little else but stare at them. Luci, on the other hand, danced up a storm! She has quite the moves, that girl.

This is a still shot from a video of Luci dancing. For some reason I can't post videos!
But this gives you an idea

Max and Justin the Banjo player.

After the concert, we went back to Aaron and Emily's house for pizza and cake. Emily made an amazing Raspberry Angel Food cake with whipped cream frosting. Yeah, I know. I can hear you licking your lips. Max, Luci and Lucian played in the toy room while the adults watched the rescheduled football game (collapsed Metrodome, anyone?) and chatted.

It was definitely worth braving the craziness of Minneapolis winter driving to attend the concert and celebrate with Luci!!
