New Years Eve, 2012

[Babbs234]

LOL. Just how excited were you acting, Babbs? Were you jumping up and down and giggling like a schoolgirl? Were you screeching and pulling at your hair? Were you running in little circles going "whoo hoo, whoo hoo"?

Plus, in Harry's mind I'm sure Haley will always be "just a kid." At 22 sure she is young, but certainly not a kid anymore. It's a parental perspective kind of thing.

Swan , I was jumping up and down in my chair like a little kid!! HEhehe I was very excited knowing she was coming and kept thinking, " Who can I call and tell" when I first found out. I was texting everyone I knew.

I just had a feeling that she was going to show up. her mom mentioned it on stageit,and then haley was sending instagram photos of herself yesterday. I was thinking ,well she must be home, sitting around sending photos, the bar where her parents play is close to where they live, I bet shes comin.

When Haley came in, (she was with that guy in the green jacket in the pictures) there was a murmur... Haley's here, Haley's here. She stood in the back of the bar with this big grin on her. She had relatives there but I went running right over there to see her. I got 2 pictures with her and was maybe (no way) going to post them, but i hate me in them. boooo

But Haley sounded great. It was fun seeing her sing with her Mom. Their voices are so different. Spiderweb was the last song. Haley sung the first verse, and she and her mom sung the chorus together. Then they kind of traded off lines till Haley gracefully bowed out.

After she finished singing, Haley was surrounded by people. Her parents kept playing but noone was listening. They all wanted pictures with her.
She stayed about an hour total then said she was going out with her buddies for NYE. The whole bar said goodbye to her.
My husband just sat there smiling at me all night. watching me say... "I can't believe shes here!! Wait till i tell everyone." lol It really was surreal.
