Skating Couple

After a busy week of birthday celebrations, things were back to normal here. Now the kiddies are gearing up for the Hanukkah/Christmas festivities.

We started out the weekend with Lily's last piano lesson of 2011 and a movie night showing of 101 Dalmatians. On Saturday we went downtown to ice skate at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden. After skating and a lunch out, we came home to relax. The kids spent Saturday night with a babysitter and had a great time.

On Sunday Jack had a birthday party and Lily a play date but other than that we just spent time at home. A rarity in recent weeks.

Overall, a nice quiet weekend.

Here are a few pictures:

It is a lot of work skating with Jack. Fortunately, both Lily and Jack start lessons in a few weeks.

Skating is in their Canadian blood..Jack needs a traffic cone to hold onto....that's how they teach the kids up here in the north! But I am not sure he will ever play in the NHL!! Only 7 more sleeps til we see you...VERY excited!!

Send them up here for a week and we'll have them skating in no time! They're already skating better than some of the Habs! Are we looking at the next Tammy Granato and Wayne Gretzky?
