Ice Skating 101

Hello! We had such a fun weekend :) After seeing Santa on Friday, we came home, ate dinner and were off to the Rivermen game. Justin is getting braver and now likes to yell at the players, scream "Go Rivermen" and bang on the glass. Saturday morning he slept in until 9am - what a treat! We went to the store and got all of the stuff to make cookies all day. We made cut-outs (they turned out grandma!), chocolate with peanut butter chips and peanut butter blossoms...yummy! Justin was such a big help, too! Saturday evening we took Justin ice skating and then went to dinner with Katie & Josh. Sunday we stayed inside as much as possible until it was time to go to the Rivermen game. The temperature is around zero and the wind chills are so cold!!!

After the Rivermen game they had a post-skate with the team. This was Justin's 4th time (two time in Big Rapids with G&G Brooks, once on Saturday and then tonight). He did SO GOOD! Rob and I were so proud of him! There is a video below that is almost 2 minutes long because he just kept going....he didn't fall! In the video, you hear the buzzer going off to signal that open skate was over, then you hear Josh (COO of the Rivermen) say "he's doing well" - I think he was the youngest one out there - and then at the end the Zamboni fires up, so we really had to leave :)

We are really excited for our short work week and then a fun Christmas!

Thats our little hockey monkey. When does he get the hockey stick when he is skating?

When we took him skating in BR the manager of the ice area said Justin was a "natural skater" she said that if he went 2 or 3 more times he would be skating on his own....she was right!!! And you can tell that Justin LOVES it!!!

Wow, I'm impressed! I was just thinking of getting Magnolia some cross country skis but wondered if she was still too little... Apparently not, I think these little ones learn so much faster than we do!!!
Have a wonderful Christmas!
