So, last night we FINALLY celebrated Kenna and Kayla's birthdays! They have November birthdays, but they wanted to wait for Tiki to come home. Then it got snowed out. Then the ice rink wasn't available. So, last night, under Winter Storm Warnings and with the promise of up to 27 inches of snow this weekend, we headed to the rink! It was SO much fun! Happy Birthday Willis girls!
My favorite was seeing Dax and Tiki and Gabby on skates. Dax isn't the most adventurous little dude and he had had enough by about the third time around the rink. Tiki is an athlete! On "regular" flooring, he was running around in his skates like he had on tennis shoes. I think with a couple of more days of practice, Tiki will master ice skating! And I think Gabby fell more in the Tiki category rather than in the Dax category. It was so cute to see her on ice skates. . .she was so tall and grown up looking.
Okay, I take that back. . .my very favorite part was Hays. Every time he would fall down there would be a huge rush of girls surrounding him. It was pathetic! The party was all girls plus Hays and his friend, Jonathan. And seriously, every time he fell the girls rushed to his side. . .it was like a magnet or something!
And not to leave Maggie out, she is a hoot! She is so cute and getting so pretty and still so clumsy. I think she spent more time on the ice (sprawled out) than she did actually skating, but she never stopped smiling. Sweet girl.
Then I went to see "Valentine's Day" with some girls who I had never met (I have met one of them before). The movie was okay. . .I was pretty disappointed because I had built it up so much in my mind, I think. The ending was good! The company. . .well it is weird to "meet" new people by going to a movie. They seemed really sweet, though.
Today it is still snowing and Andy and Hays and Maggie are headed to the slopes. Tiki and Dax and Gabby and I are headed to the laundry mat (our washer broke). We'll play some video games and wait for our loads and loads and loads to finish. Life is so fun!
