Disney On Ice

Meet Jen.

Jen is my really fun friend. You can always have a good time with her, doing the most random things. She'll take an impromptu vacation, try any type of festival food and is even the type of friend that would go with you and take stupid pictures in a bathroom using the disposable camera from someones wedding reception (not that we'd do that). Anyway, a few weeks back Jen got some free tickets to Disney On Ice and shared them with us for a show this past week. Jordis got all dressed up in her Minnie Mouse outfit (thanks to Aunt Karrie) and Mickey Mouse hair barrette and set up shop next to her future prom date, a.k.a. Jen's little guy, Arjun.

We anxiously awaited the start of the show.

The kids were so excited when it started!

Mickey and Goofy

It's A Small World

Beauty and the Beast

Nemo

All the characters

It was past bedtime when we left and the kids were completely worn out.

But it was so much fun.

Blades of glory

Isn't this the best face ever?

My poor baby.

Xander's cousin had a birthday party at The Chiller and he was so excited to go skating. But this is what happened when he quickly realized that you can't just "go skate" the first time you try. He was actually mad at me because I could skate, and I couldn't get him to understand that it wasn't the first time I'd tried. I've taken lessons. He doesn't want lessons though, he just wants to skate.

Now.

I think learning how to ride his bike in an hour convinced him that everything is that easy.

He mostly did this....

...got a little braver....

...then went back and forth between doing it himself and having some help from me.

After realizing he wasn't going to learn to skate before the party was over, he decided he would just do this...

He insists it was horrible, but I think if I offered to take him again he'd take me up on it.
