Of course, the test day did not mark the end of skating fun in our family. I mean, what else is there to do in winter?
Last Saturday, Katrine had her skating show in which she looked lovely with all of her skating friends. It was also Elspeth’s final gymnastics class and Mom A had to be picked up so Glenn was off to take care of that before the show. Then I came up with the great idea that there was enough time for Katrine and I to get the groceries done before the event. That went without an issue. Then came the problem. I had crashed the previous night and slept for at least 12 hours straight and then woke up with the bright idea of groceries so I failed to remind Katrine to double check the contents of her skating bag. As a result, when she went to get dressed she had no tights. I was just about to head home to pick some up when one of her friend’s mom came to the rescue with tights. My hero!
Once the show was done it was time to say good bye to Grammy and get ready to skate with Santa!! At first Elspeth was not to sure of the idea of Santa being on skates but eventually the chance to get a candy cane won out and over she skated with her big sister.
The next afternoon following church it was off to LEGOLAND to meet up with one of Katrine’s China sisters. You will see only photos of Elspeth at play because I didn’t manage to get a single photo of Katrine without her “sister”. They were pretty inseparable which is awesome. I love seeing these kids bond. After lego it was time to meet up with some more China family for dinner.
