We decided to take the girls ice skating last Saturday for their first time. Piper started getting the hang of it and enjoyed falling, she just thought that was hilarious. The rental skates were not the best, they were pretty uncomfortable for Jason and I, I can only imagine how the kids' feet felt in them.
See, falling with all that padding isn't so hard. Piper's biggest challenge was accidentally turning herself around in a circle and loosing balance. If Reagan would have gotten up on her feet we may have tried skating longer. It was a short trip, I think 45 minutes tops.
Holly came over to visit last Saturday and ended up entertaining the kids and reading Reagan her bedtime story. Thanks Holly!
Reagan enjoyed skating as much as hanging from our arms until she reached the snowbank. She just happily sat still in the snowbank until we moved her under the bridge where she spent the second half of her time hanging out. Now if we were being clever we would have wrapped a bottle in a brown bag and posed her for some good photos.
We had Piper's Birthday party on Sunday (after the Vikings big win) so everyone was in a good mood and I kept shoveling food at everyone. Piper ended up hiding under the bed for the first 20 minutes until we persuaded her to come down to open her presents. She was so excited and then when everyone actually arrived she was too shy to come out.
Reagan was all about socializing!
Not a great photo but I was trying to get pictures of everyone who was here.
Here's her CandyLand inspired cake. I should have started it a day earlier as I just ran out of time to really execute the details the way I wanted to. It was a big hit with the kids though.
Yes, I know these are out of order.
Reagan and her Papa's had matching hairdo's.
You can't really tell but Dad does have a pony tail back there.
Sweet Baby B. She is so funny, she poses for the camera, as soon as she knows it's there she makes a funny face, she just gets cuter everyday!
We topped off the Birthday celebrations with a surprise trip to Chuck E Cheese on Piper's Birthday.
What a wonderful day, we got to watch Brecken being baptised and I got to become a Godmother! She was all smiles and giggles in the beginning.
Hey, what are you doing? You aren't dunking me in there are you? She actually didn't even flinch during the water, it was after the last scoop that she wanted to be upright again and started getting upset. 
I went a little overboard on the cake, only a quarter of the bottom tier was eaten. Well it was fun to make.
After the water he carried her around the church in the cradle position, she would have been fine if he just sat her upright, poor girl, she never cries!
