our neck of the woods..

we found our own little skating rink this afternoon!! What fun we had...clearing our own little spot in the woods

 

A great day for a skate…

We went to the RACA building Wed night for the free skate night. Dayne, Gretta and Ella got right back on the ice and were whizzing around in now time. Gretta brought her friend Haley for her first time skating along with Diego and Yerly. D and Y used the skate sleds..which worked great when Diego actually stood on his blades, but most the time he just tried walking on his sides of his feet..ouch is right!!!

The first Birthday Party

Yerly went to her first birthday party. Thank you Meg and Abby Perron!

Yerly loved watching the other girls and just soaking it all in. We went to Build A Bear Workshop for the party!! The girls were able to pick out a stuffed animal of their choice within a certain price range. Yerly chose a more expensive animal and opted not to get clothes so she could have a pretty pink unicorn. She has currently named this lovely unicorn, Rosada! (pink)
