Twas the Night Before Christmas...

We tried something new this year-a trip to the ice skating rink.  Porter woke up feeling pretty yuck with a fever so he stayed home to sleep but the rest of us enjoyed slipping and sliding around.  Leo made it around one torturous time with Aaron and once terrifying time with me.  Then he proclaimed he was done and turned in his skates.  Jane was pretty balanced on her feet and Andrew stuck it out happily mostly on the wall.  Adam really surprised us.  He was slipping and falling all over the place so I fully expected him to join Leo, but he just kept getting up with his little grin.  He even ventured out to the middle towards the end.  When all was said and done he proudly announced that he had fallen 22 times and wanted to come back again!

Here's the pinata team this year and the very well put together Oscar:)  He was a hard knock.  I think we got everyone through two rounds of turns before he surrendered his loot.  







And it's always nice to finish the day off with the real meaning of why we celebrate.
