Celebrating Michael's birthday

Jarrett and I are going to sneak away for a few days later this week, which happens to fall on Michael's birthday (we will NEVER let this down).  In an attempt to celebrate early, we surprised him by having his great friend Bella over for an afternoon.  Michael had been talking for weeks about going Ice Skating so that's what we did.

Belle rang the door bell and when Michael ran to open the door he was surprised to see she was there.  He was slightly embarrassed he hadn't combed his hair so thankfully his hat was close and he could put it on to hid the bed head he had from the night of sleeping.


We had lunch and then birthday cupcakes to celebrate both of them having March birthdays!


You can see the two girls loved the frosting!

And then it was time to go skating!


This was Isabelle's first times on ice skates. She wasn't sure about it at first.

We laced them up and they were off!


Some more hesitant than others.
Dad kept Madelyn busy on the bleachers.


There was a brief break for the Zamboni machine to resurface the ice.  Don't these kiddos look grown up?


Did anyone else notice the shorts and ice skates?
Only in Arizona right?

Michael and Belle had fun!


Soon they were twirling around and doing circles (stunt tricks)

Michael declared he will be a future gold medal ice skater and we should now drop several thousand dollars to put him in private lessons and it will all be worth it because he will for sure bring home a gold medal.  

That Michael, he always has some sort of new plan he's rigging up. 


It was a really fun day to get to celebrate Michael's birthday and I think he enjoyed getting to improve his skating skills.

Hard to believe this little guy that melted our hearts is now (almost) 11!

Until next time,
Angie
