We had a really fun Christmas Eve day (and possibly the start of a new tradition!) when we headed down to the Depot downtown for skating. Oliver has obviously been on skates a lot for hockey but this was Stella's first time.
She was super excited and I think a little surprised at how hard it is!
While she never actually let go of the walk, Chop or me, she did great and it was a positive experience. And of course Oliver was excited to show off his skills and show her how it is done!
Christmas Eve and presents couldn't come soon enough. We put wrapped presents from us under the tree the day before and Oliver literally cried for over an hour that morning because he wanted to open them "now". He also wasn't too happy about wearing a button shirt but we talked him into it and off to church we went.
Present opening couldn't come soon enough once we got home. They each received a present from each other (that each of them picked out) and four gifts from us. And we nailed it with all of them!
