Ice Skating

It's funny that we don't visit the Winters unless we go on vacation with them.  I decided to see what they were doing today to see if they were available to just visit.  It took awhile and Sue called me and invited us over to Ice Skate with them.  They had also invited the Brinkerhoff family.

It was fun but I was very hesitant since I just learned one of my friends broke her tailbone from ice skating. (she was doing a "tricky trick" which I have learned at this age shouldn't be done....no tricky tricks)  Kimi and Jared had a good time.  Kimi did really well and I will just say that Jared was good at falling right but might have a few bruises.

I cheated and skated with a chair....it's kind of like having a walker when you are old.  I won't lie though...I even managed to fall with a chair and do have bruise on my knee.  It was so much fun.  I'd like to go again and if we do I think I will use their skates.  I used Justin's old Hockey skates and they hurt the back of my legs. The skates sloped forward and I wanted to stand up straight....the skates won and I kept my legs bent.

We warmed up inside with some hot chocolate.  We visited for a little bit and then came home happy with our first day of this New Year!

Oh....and today I put away all the Christmas.  A guy came to our door and even made fun of me for not having it down earlier...I really don't like people sticking their nose in my business....I was enjoying the Holidays and didn't feel like doing it any earlier.  The only reason I did it today was so the family could help me carry boxes in and out...which is a huge help!

New Year.....2013

I am looking forward to this year.  It's always exciting to see what new is headed our way.  I hope a few new grands are headed our way. I am choosing to keep on doing what I have been doing.  I am going to continue to make fun happen.  I am going to smile like this picture says and make the best of what is thrown my way. (I changed the words on the picture to fit me)  I am going to enjoy this year!
