Colin, you again proved that you are a boy after your dad's heart. You received hockey skates for Christmas from your grandma and grandpa and you've been wanting to use them ever since. Any other January and I'd probably be writing about how we had to wait for the wind chill to be manageable before we could go outside and skate. This year, however, we were waiting to see if any of the rinks in town were actually flooded!
We drove by the rink at Clara Barton on Sunday to find that there was indeed ice. All day long you talked about ice skating after your nap (it's always ice skating, not just skating). I wish I could put into words the pure excitement on your face when you got on that ice. I hope it's something that continues with you throughout your life. Your dad has some wonderful memories of playing hockey as a boy (although he wasn't so happy when he had to turn off Saturday morning cartoons in order to go to practice!) and he would love for you to have that opportunity. If Sunday is any indication, I'd say you're hooked!

I love everything about this post!! So glad he loved it! That last pic of him drinking hot chocolate is too dreamy.
Do you think Soren will have the same reaction when we get him a speedo, I mean skis?
