Ice Skating Outing

Oh how cute! My son Maestro and his friend
went to the mall for the day.
They went Ice skating.
The perfect Winter activity.
In California, you ice skate inside.

I think they were hamming it up. Her Mom brought them.
I think she takes just as many pictures as I do when we go places.
Too funny. Maestro is used to it.

After they went ice skating, they had Indian food for lunch.

After lunch they hung out a bit more at the mall then had some
Starbucks in the evening.
It was perfect since it was getting chilly.

Two friends= FUN!

The Aftermath.....

Christmas has come and gone yet, in a blink of an eye. It was just the other morning that my children were in their Jammie's opening up their gifts on Christmas morn. It was a lovely day in which we spent together... just the four of us. It is so wonderful to hear that my daughter's favorite gift was surely the one that I made for her. She has been sleeping with it every night since. Her very first vintage style sock elephant filled with lavender and love was surely the hit of the morning.

My son sits here sporting his handsome hat. Yes, my boy asked for a nice hat to where when he goes to Church. He has always had such an old soul to him. He looks quite dashing in it too !!! Christmas was not big with presents this year... it was truly focused on Christ and family.

We have enjoyed the many Christmas season activities this Winter. My parents came for Christmas Eve, which I must confess my favorite part of the evening was singing Christmas Hymns with them. The children enjoyed going ice skating. A first for us..... and they want to go again. Now we look forward to the new coming year ahead, as well as look back on this years blessings.
