Ice Skating Practice

Addison had the day off of school and I had the day off work. She was invited to an ice-skating party in January, so we thought we would go to the open skate in Ames and practice! 

It's not quite like riding a bike.... it was harder for me than I expected! Though it's been 17 years since I had skated.... 

We had a fun afternoon and she caught on pretty fast! 

They loved their personalized books from Aunt Tracey. They read them constantly! And now, 10 months later, Mason is still obsessed with it. They call it their "Polar Express" book :)

She lost her first tooth! It was a good 5-6 weeks from when it first became loose until she finally got it out!! She really wanted it out on Christmas Eve so Santa and the Tooth Fairy came on the same night. That didn't happen. Maybe it will this year though....she has about 3 barely loose teeth right now. Ha!
