I'm looking forward to 2016 and the adventures that it will bring!  Happy New Year!

Ice skating 2014

We had another fun year at our annual family fun day ice skating.  My parents rent out an ice skating rink in Castle Rock for a couple of hours and we skate, talk, and eat together.  For me it gets more fun each year since the first year I didn't skate because I was pregnant, the second year was hard since Ruby was too young and Diego cried nearly the whole time.  This year Diego and Eli both did well and even Ruby gave it a try!  She was so cute in her little skates.  Although she only went around a couple of times, I think she had fun.  I think she was a little confused and just liked watching everyone.
