Since we were going to be gone for nearly two weeks we needed to get in some skating before we left. Theo and I have been skating almost every night that we can since we've put the rink up.  Theo got really into ice skating this year. On the Saturday before we left we had our family Christmas. Once everyone was awake the kids got to open their presents.  Meadow made Theo a blue scarf and a Looney Tunes pillowcase.

A few of the other kids activities for the first night were canceled due to frigid temps. The winter beach was magical. A great use of the boob lights.  My favorite display was the interactive light display. Meadow even donated some art. The Ghosts of Dinners past was super rad.

In Blake and Daniel's garage some local teenage bands were rocking out. Not a bad first night of Boubville.  While Brooke worked at the Supe...
