Hey y’all!
Ok, for reals, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to blog about this awesome, fun night!
In early December, Momma and Daddy came up to OKC so we could all go see Donny and Marie Osmond’s Christmas concert! If you’ve never seen them in concert, you don’t get to judge me for going and talking about how amazing it was. Because it was amazing.
Growing up, The Osmonds were my mom’s favorite. Specifically Donny. I like to think her love for them was about the same as my love for *NSYNC :) She got to see The Osmonds in concert when she was a teenager, so when I found out Donny and Marie’s Christmas concert was coming to OKC, I really wanted the two of us to go. To our surprise, the boys said they would go with us.
I know, I’m as shocked as you are.
Anyway, we bought the tickets several months in advance, and before we knew it, the day was here!
We were SO EXCITED!

The fam! We were excited for a fun night of Christmas music, and I couldn’t wait to see Momma’s reaction to seeing Donny and Marie!
There they are!
Momma was so excited to see them! It was priceless! She was giddy like nothing I’ve ever seen from her before. It was hard to take pictures because every time I would push the button on my camera, she would elbow me out of excitement!
Before the show started, Marie posted on twitter for people to take a picture with the cardboard cutout and tweet them to her and tell her why she should pick you for front row seats.
I tweeted this one to Marie!
After a couple of the songs, she said it was time to announce the winner of the contest.
“Section 101″.
That was our section.
“Row PP”.
That was our row. I grabbed Momma’s hand and tried not to scream.
“Seats 7 and 8! Is there an Ashley in here?”
THAT WAS ME! I couldn’t believe we won! We were ushered from our seats to our new seats on the front row!
It’s still a little unbelievable that we watched the rest of the show from the front row. I’ve never been front row at a concert before, and this one was great!
It’s Donny! Y’all, he’s beautiful. I know he’s old enough to be my dad, but he looks really good.
Momma and Donny :)
During part of the concert, they sang songs from the Broadway shows they’ve been in, including The Sound of Music, The King and I, Beauty and the Beast, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Wicked. It was my favorite part of the whole show!
They sang “For Good” from Wicked, and it was beautiful!
Donny was watching me take his pictures. He could’ve smiled a little more for me! Haha!
Marie seriously has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. She can sing pretty much any kind of music, including opera. It was incredible!
My goodness, it was such a great concert! I was so excited to be able to go with my mom to see her childhood crush and childhood idol in concert. She’s gone with me to quite a few concerts to see people that I love, so to go with her to someone she loves was really great. Winning front row seats for her was truly amazing, and I’m so glad we got to share such a fun night together!
HOW AWESOME IS THIS?!?!?! I have never won anything like that!!!! I have always liked them!!! So cool!

A friend and I went to see the show in Pittsburgh and were lucky enough to get front row center seat tickets from someone who bought them and then wasn’t able to use them. It truly was an amazing show and I’m so happy for you that you were the winner of the front row seats. I’ve always loved them both. Like you, I was blown away by the power of Marie’s incredible voice which is so much more spectacular in person that I ever imagined. It was a fantastic show from start to finish and I’m so blessed to have gotten to enjoy that experience. How about those shoes and boots of Marie’s? ;)
Glad you had so much fun with your Mom and how fun to win front row seats! :) My Mom and I saw the Christmas show in Nashville. It was amazing! I have been a huge Donny fan since I was like 7 and he looked and sounded fabulous!!! Marie was great, too, and her costumes were out of this world. The shoes and boots were nice, but I think every woman should have a green dress like the one she wore when they sang “For Good” from Wicked. What was that think made out of anyway? All green and shiny???? I love Donny, but I couldn’t stop talking about Marie and her green dress! :)
That is so awsome! I went to see them in Las Vegas last year. It came on the screen that if you tweet to Donny that you are at the show, you could win VIP pass to the meet and greet after the show. I couldn’t believe I won! I had never tweeted anything in my life. My friend and I got to meet them both and have our picture taken with them. I have been fans of theirs forever…just like your Mom. Great story.
This is great! I’ve loved them since i was 10, so I totally relate to your Mom. How cool was it to win Front Row seats for your Mom? Years ago, I took my mom to see her crush – Elvis! It was very similar to your experience, except we were in the top tier of the arena and she was still swooning. LOL!
You & your mama are so cute! I literally laughed out loud at the “you don’t get to judge me!”
Girl that is soooo cool! How fun!
