Our first family skate...

Ken's work held a fund raiser last night in support of the food bank, etc. It started with a family skate, and then a hockey game. Since Ken was running in between hockey games, I grabbed Brandon and took him for his first skate!! I pushed him around in his stroller, and was in my glory. I wasn't conscious of it, but I guess I was going "wheeeeee" around the corners because all of a sudden I heard this little voice doing the same thing!! It was cool - skating around in circles with my boy - I called Nej from the ice, I had to share this quintessential Canadian moment with someone dear, especially since Ken was en route. When he got to the rink, he joined for a few minutes, and then played in his second game (I remember those days well). At the end, he took Ken for his own skate... after winning the challenge game, it was like a victorious skate with your kid with the cup.. LOL

Brandon also had his first picture taken with Santa.. he truly does not look all that thrilled.. but he wasn't screaming and crying like some kids do the first time they see the guy in red! In fact, he looks quite blase about the whole thing...

Apologies for not talking for long - it was very loud in the background, and I couldn't hear you well!
