Santa's Workshop

Reagan's ice skating club put on an ice show tonight.  The title of the show was "Santa's Workshop" and Reagan's class skated to "You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch".  I took pictures at rehearsal this morning since the show would be in dark with performance lights (not picture friendly!).

Reagan's group wore green pajamas

 warming up

 getting instructions from "the Grinch"

The show was a success!  Reagan did great and had several fans in the audience (Mom, Dad, Cooper, Gigi, Bubba, & Ginger).   We celebrate her accomplishments by going out for pizza!

Zip Line

Snowflake was looking for a little more excitement...he went zip-lining in the living room.

Sickness Here

This is how are Friday ended...I was called to come get Reagan a little early from after-school because she had gotten sick.  She spent the entire night quarantined on the couch.

so pitiful
