On Christmas eve morning I woke up with the desire to do something "festive". We decided to take the kids ice skating for their first time. I had no idea how it would go. We went in knowing that it could be a complete disaster - but it was worth trying. We knew we would need one adult per child. Luckily Daniel and Angie were coming to my mom's house for Christmas eve and they were willing to come with us. We could not have done it with out them - that is for sure! They were so cute and helpful with the kids. And it was great to make a memory with them before we went back to Denver. The kids still talk about going ice skating with Aunt Angie.
We all traded around who had each child quite a lot - mostly to gives our back and legs a break from having to hold up Madison. Beware of the picture overload. I just felt like putting them all on. By the end Brock and Noah were able to skate by themselves and Megan and Madison were at least supporting their own body weight. We were out on the ice for about an hour and a half and no body got hurt or cried. It was a win!
We took the kids off the ice and let the newlyweds have a romantic skate. They are so cute!
The "best" part was lacing on and off the skates for the four kids - I think we were doing that as much as we were on the ice!
