Hometown Christmas

This weekend is Magnolia's Hometown Christmas celebration. One of the main attractions is the "Ice Skating Rink," minus the actual ice. I'm not really sure what it is made of--it looks like a giant plastic cutting board made of big puzzle pieces. It skates sort of like real ice.

Josie and a sweet friend had a ball "ice" skating for the first time tonight. I had already spent most of the day with our 4th graders who got to take an skating field trip.

A very nice high school volunteer helped the girls lace up their skates and then skated with them the entire time. They also had snow flurry blowers and Christmas music to make it seem that we were in a winter wonderland. Jake did not skate, but he played on the nearby moonwalks while the girls were on the rink.

Too fun!
I think they had one of those in Granbury at Thanksgiving, but we didn't make it over. Maybe we should look at getting one in Happy sometime.

We are counting down the days until you guys arrive!
