Hockey

These days the main activity in our house is hockey. For Christmas this year we gave all the kids skates and sticks. Not a day goes by that one of the kids doesn't ask to go skating.

Almost every Saturday since Christmas James and the kids have a date. First they go to breakfast at Egg Harbor then head off to Burns Field for a little skating. There are usually a few other groups there and when the kids get tired of skating they run and play in the field while James gets to play a little hockey.

The kids are doing surprisingly great with skating. This is their first year and already Madison is doing circles around most of the other kids! It's exciting to see. Another day for some outside enjoyment has been Sunday afternoon. Brett loves to play a game or two with the other kids in Hinsdale. James and I also got Brett some pads and gloves and he's loving every minute!

We've been blessed with lots of snow this winter and it's not over yet...after last weeks estimated 12-14 inches we are supposed to get some more early next week. What a beautiful sight all this snow is! It covers the grey, dirty streets and yards with a fresh coat of sparkling sunshine.
