Emily, Ava and Noelle all got meet and greet tickets to the Joshleen Tour as their big Christmas present this year! They were all in shock and beyond excited to meet their role models! It was a super fun girl’s night out!

This gives you an idea where the concert attire idea came from (and the faces in this picture)!

The girls had the best time ever at the concert/comedy show! Josh and Colleen build each other up and have sooooo much fun together! It’s so great watching. They are both great singers, dancers and comedians too! They put on a super entertaining show that kept us laughing, and also feeling all the feels!

The theme of the show was all about love and your “One True Pairing!” Each sub-section focused on how to have a successful relationship and making fun of girl/guy quirks in relationships that we all can laugh about. But at the end of the night, they seriously talked to the audience about being who you are meant to be first and foremost and then sharing that with someone else. Totally impressed with these two! They work harder and play harder than anyone I know, and that’s inspiring to have that perfect combination of both!

During one part of the show, Miranda Sings, Colleen’s YouTube character made an appearance. The girls were cracking up, as always. She’s so funny! I think the best part about her is that she truly doesn’t care what anyone thinks about her and enjoys being her silly self. That means a lot to kids these days.

It’s so awesome that the friends Noelle made all by herself in kindergarten lead to me making some of the best friends I’ve ever had. Thanks Noelle! You did good!!!

I love that you can see everyone in this picture! We all took turns taking pictures of each other with our girls, and we support and love each other so much, as you can see!

So the night went a tiny bit south when we realized the meet and greet portion was before the concert, rather than after, and we had missed it. Our ticket and confirmation email both said 7:00pm, so there was no way for us to know to arrive early. Afterward, we talked to their tour manager, and she was so empathetic and understanding. I knew her crew would be super awesome too! It was TicketMaster that messed up, but it really upset Colleen when she found out about it. She posted such a heart-felt vlog that explained how mad she was that her fans were disappointed and that the people they pay to handle this messed up.

To make a long story not any longer, her manager wrote down our Instagram and Twitter accounts and said Colleen might follow us, just to give the girls something to leave excited about. We also emailed her the above picture and asked her if she could show it to Colleen since we worked so hard on the outfits. And that was that. As we were driving home from the concert, my phone started blowing up! Not only did Colleen/Miranda follow both our Instagram and Twitter accounts, but she tweeted the picture we asked her manager to show her! The girls were going nuts! It was so exciting and really lifted all of our spirits! Her mom, @gwentrent even liked all of our posts! So sweet!

Then, after all the twitter excitement, she posted Emily’s fan art that she handed Colleen during the concert on Instagram. The girls were over the moon by this point. It was all screams and cheering in the car! The night went from soooo disappointing to absolutely thrilling for our little 9 year olds! We can’t wait to see Colleen and Josh to thank them in person for having such huge hearts and making our girls feel so special… maybe sooner than later! Winking smile

Here’s a video of all the social media love and Emily giving Colleen her fan art. It has over 18,000 views on my Instagram account. Crazy! Everyone loves Colleen and Josh!
