Winter is Here!

We had a great Thanksgiving with sweet family and to top it off, we got snow!! We're pretty pumped at our house. So to celebrate the wonderful upcoming Christmas season, and the new snow of course, Loren decided we should go ice skating. We've taken Katie several times and she loves it. Sammy has never gone. And being the one with less athletic motivation (we'll say), we weren't sure how long we'd be at the ice rink :)
Getting all suited up. And yes....it's true. Our children are THOSE kids whose parents make them wear helmets. We had to hang our heads in shame over this one.



Okay....we're having fun so far!!


Starting off strong...still on our feet


Gimme a break Mom, it's been a couple of years


After a few times around it all comes back to her and she's doing great!






And the verdict is..... we like ice skating!



One tired little ice skater. She did get quite a nice compliment from a boy we found out later we knew from church. He said, "WOW! She has the coolest hockey helmet!!" This was pleasing to her :)
