The ward had to cancel the annual ice skating party. I mean, we get it...how do you get 150 people together in a global pandemic? The skating rink is only letting 50 people in at a time, for crying out loud. But we are bummed. We look forward to this every year and the teenagers need to get out of the house! So we gathered our usual suspects, painstakingly coordinated our calendars, checked with teenager work schedules, confirmed and reconfirmed, stayed up till midnight and franticly reserved tickets 48 hours in advance....no problem.
We went with the Guenthers, Petersons, and Flynns...some were more excited about skating that others...although, poor Courtney almost broke her hiney in her first 5 minutes on the ice. She gets a free pass.
Cute Laney and her awesome braces!
Anna is always out there in the thick of it...she skated as long as she could before the ankle blisters were too painful to ignore.
And we FINALLY convinced Everly to get on the ice!!
She scooted along the wall and we took turns holding her hand. She didn't fall, so I think she'll get out there again next year. I think I'll take her place snuggled in the blankets and letting people bring me cocoa.
We had such a fun time hanging out together and enjoying having every one of our kids there. These days are coming to an end soon.
When all the skates were returned, we went down to see the big tree and the beautiful lights put up in the Crown Center Square.
Huffords 2020!!
We couldn't miss a chance to get a photo of our families all together. Every kid was here...that never happens anymore!
