Birthday Party and Snow






Lennah and Daddy on the ice





Our 2 Birthday Princesses




The Birthday Cake


Saturday we had the girls birthday party. It was the second year in a row that we combined the girls birthday parties. They decided they wanted an ice skating party. Lennah has been asking to do this for a while especially since her Big Ba is famous for watching the NY Rangers on TV. Mind you the girls had never been ice skating before but still wanted to forge ahead with this choice. Anyway it started out as a lovely party a lot of great friends showed up and we had pizza and cake. Then came time for the open skating session. I grabbed Delylah and Keith grabbed Lennah. Delylah had a hard time and freaked out. She counted figure out how to hunch a bit forward so her time on the ice was cut very short. Lennah also freaked out and gladly dashed off the ice. Low and behold Lennah got a little brazen and ventured back out with Keith and my friend Nicole holding her up on each side. Well she loved it. She wants to go back and go ice skating again. I am thinking that if we could go with another couple then Delylah would be able to be held up on both sides like Lennah did and she may actually like it. Which brings me as to why she never got to go back out and give the ice another whirl. Anyway we had about another half hour left on the ice and all of a our friend Lisa took a tumble on the ice. Well it was pretty bad and she had to get rushed to the ER for stitches. So it cut our party time a bit short. You always think it is a kid that is going to wind up having an accident and it turns out to be the adults. All was ok and she just wound up with a few stitches. She felt so bad that it happened but we are just glad she is ok. Good thing open skating was after the pizza and cake (just trying to look on the bright side). Overall we are still thankful the girls had a great party with family and friends.

Anyway, the day after the party we got hit with snow for the second time this winter season. It started Sunday night and stopped sometime during the night. Anyway, I have not had to work since which has been nice. The kids have enjoyed playing in the snow and spending some extra time with us. Keith's job even shut down for two days which is an anomaly. But it was great just spending quiet time together as a family since on the weekend's we have to go go go between errands, church, and whatever else it taking place.
