January Happenings

January has been off to a busy but fun start.

 Brecken is back at Intro to Hockey. Last weekend the coach sent him down to play with the 6U team after the first Intro to Hockey drill.  He has become such a good little skater this winter.

 

 Chesney had her dance team Christmas party. 

 

 

 We went to watch Ryan play hockey one Sunday afternoon and followed it up with a late lunch.

 

 

 

 Mackston loaded up the extra trash.

 It was actually warm enough to play outside for an entire morning, so we got out the bikes.

 Chesney's class was serving for Scoopie Night at Culvers.

 

 Brecken insisted on going along to help.

 Chensey and Crew looking clean and cute after a shower.

 The ice rink needed a zamboni, so Crew took the job.

 Chesney got her dance competition team jacket.

 

 Crew was getting fixed up for some reason.

 

 The kids got Magnatiles for Christmas and have loved building with them.

 

 

 

 Mackston found the dress up bin.

 

 Mackston and Crew were my helpers to make a bed skirt to match Chesney's new bedding.

 

 

Brecken's 6th Birthday

Our little Brecken is 6 years old. He ended up sleeping in on his birthday because Grampy made a surprise visit the night before. So Brecken stayed up a little later than normal to play with Grampy.

 We had pancakes for breakfast.  It takes 2 hands now to show how old he is.

 

 At school he got a birthday crown. And this year at school, your name is on a board in the lunchroom on your birthday and everyone sings to you during lunch.

After school we had a pizza party at home followed by a hockey ice cream cake.

 

 

 

 Brecken opened up his gifts after cake.

 

 

 

 

 

 It's hard to believe our little guy is 6. We had so much fun celebrating his birthday.
