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. 

  This year we decided to check out Daniel's avant garde Christmas light display: Boubville .  We've seen the set up but never in action. Get a crowd and it takes on a totally different vibe. Plus I don't think we've ever seen all the lights and displays on at the same time. There was even a ball pit with hidden prizes. 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. 

Theo had his friend Ben come over and they skated for a couple hours. Snack break.  I was surprised to see the kids still outside when I got home from work. Theo has been loving the rink this year.
