Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve at the Golden Knights Ice Rink! We took the kids Ice skating! They were so excited! What a great time! Not too busy and great pricing too! Penny begs me to go all the time and I just wasn't what to do with Piper!  Finally got her back there to skate and just put Piper in skates and said "here you go" lol! This was Piper's first time on ice skates! She did soooooo good! She used a cone for balance to start then moved to a walker style push thing then before I knew it she was skating all by herself! She absolutely loved it! So proud of her! Penny and Cash were little pros in my eyes! lol! This was Cash's 2nd time on ice skates! He killed it out there! Jumping and twisting! Catching some air too! This was Penny's 3rd time ice skating and she was a rock star! She was turning,  twisting, going backwards, going on one leg and then even dipping down! So good! All were so much fun too watch! Can't wait to take them back! Defiantly a new Christmas Eve tradition! Ice Skating!

Our Most Amazing Christmas Tradition!

One of our most favorite Christmas traditions is going to the Western Elite Christmas Experience! We were so happy it came back! With covid last year they were not able to do it and we missed going so much! It's my most favorite event of the Christmas season!  What a wonderful magical night! And if you can believe it's all free! The whole night! We still can't believe how generous they are in putting on such an amazing event for free! Food! Hot Cocoa! Several different Mini train rides! Hayrides! Giant fire pits to sit around and visit! and the Golden Ticket to the Christmas Train Express! It was a cold one! Out in Alamo the high was 32 degrees! When we left it dropped to 28 degrees! So we were bundled up with several layers! lol

This year we had 26 family members come with us from both Chad's side of the family and mine! Both my sister's came with their families! Chad's brother and cousin came with their families! So many cousins together equals the best time together! Here are the pics from eating and our Hayride!
