Mom's Birthday Party





Tathiana decided she wanted to go skating for her birthday. We loaded up and drove to the only place we know of that rents skates....Crown Center. This was probably Tathiana's second time skating and it certainly was the kids' first time. It wasn't my first time skating, but it was my first time skating with figure skates on. :o)

We had a really fun time! Sam and Hannah were a little shaky at the start. Hannah hung on my arm and wouldn't let go. By the end of the evening, she didn't want any help and was doing great. Sam picked it up right away and just kept getting faster. As you can see from the photos, and how wet their pants are, they were doing their best to help sweep the ice and keep it clean.

Soon after these pictures were taken, we headed north to MN to spend Thanksgiving with my family. While we were there, we stopped in at Play-it-Again Sports and picked up skates for the whole family (Sam and I went with hockey skates this time). When the weather stays cold long enough, we plan to get out on our pond and do some skating. Maybe over Christmas vacation.

Happy Birthday Honey!
Love you XO

What is missing in the post...

During our stay in Minnesota our dear friends from Colordo stayed at our home, fed the chickens and played with Ranger! They were more than fairly payed by the wonderful farm raised eggs that fed them every morning, not to mention the delicious french toast that Doug prepared for their guest's farewell breakfast.

In fact they loved it so much they are now coming back for Christmas. It doesn't pay well to be so nice to the guests!!!



Love and Miss
