We packed up the truck and headed to Rose for Safar Family Christmas!  AP and I contue with the 4 Gifts Tradition (want, wear, need, read) and we decided to bring the 'wears' to Rose.  Can you guess what Harper got??  Yep - brand new skates to wear on the rink that Grampy so expertly cleared!

 She was pretty much a rockstar - and I godn't always give her enough credit.  I was pretty sure there would be a few tumbles, and then "I'm all done with this, Mama." But, much to everyone's suprise, Harper may just be a natural!  (Not talking olympic material, but she stayed up more than she fell down!).

Bennett did not want skates, but he did want a new winter coat - so his wear was used for snowmobiling adventures around the rink.  However, it was pretty obvious that he was beginning to rethink his "no skates, please" as he watched his sister gliding around.  And, while he didn't ask for a pair, we all knew he wanted some...  Don't worry, Bennett Daniel, it's Christmas.  Miracles happen.
