Skating Lessons

Here is a short, very amateur video I put together of Isaac that my mom took when she was here. I like the song on it but Mike can't stand country music so he is not a fan. I think it's cute to think of these little boys slipping around on the ice to this song. Enjoy!

Here is a post from my phone last month that I forgot to put in!

We went to the world's largest Christmas store today! It's in Frankenmuth, MI and we go at least once a year. We love picking up unique ornaments there, they have a huge selection locally and from all over the world. Each year Santa gets some ornaments for the boys to represent activities they enjoy or a memory we have of them. Stay tuned for what he will bring later this month. Of course, there is a great outlet mall nearby that we enjoy too!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We had a great time this Christmas. It was really fun to see Isaac start to get excited about Christmas and understand a little about what it was really about.We went to see a live nativity with our neighbors and he thought that was cool. He got to ride a donkey and was so proud of himself. He just has trouble understanding how donkeys, a manger, baby Jesus, and Christmas presents all fit together. At least he understands that Christmas is baby Jesus' birthday.

The boys sure did get spoiled by theri families this year! so much so that Santa didn't really feel the need to get them much =) They got a tool bench that is pretty cool (it's the Step 2 one and has things you can build with it), a fire station and polic station manly "dollhouse", and from Santa Isaac got hockey skating lessons and hockey skates. I get to take him to his first skating lessons! I'm so excited!I can't imagine how I will be as they get older, I'm just so proud of them. I'm sure I will just think he is the cutest out there on the ice, as long as he isn't crying . . . My friend Jenn might even come and photograph the event for us. I know, we are too much, but we are super excited for them. Jenn and Joe got Isaac and Luke new red wings hockey sticks and hats for christmas which they love!

Our Christmas was very relaxing and full of fun. My parents came down for a few days last week and we were able to have a real Christmas celebration with them. Mike and I also enjoyed a date night while they were here. It's a real treat to have them watch our kids, we can go out without any worries! On Christmas day, we celebrated with Joe and Jenn which was lovely, we are each others families away from home =) On New Years we all went over to our neighbors and hung out which was fun too!

Hope you all had a nice Christmas too! God Bless!!

O Canada

Here is a video of Isaac that my mom took. He has much respect for the great nation of Canada. It's so funny to us! Mike and I are laughing in the background. Today we were watching junior hockey international competition on TV and Isaac sees them line up in formation in preparation for the teams anthems. He immediately takes of his hat and puts it over his heart, of course that would be the Red Wings hat he had on =)
