Addie's 7th birthday party

 Addie's birthday party was held at the ice skating rink this year.  With her and Ben being such good skaters now, we figured her friends would really enjoy it too.  Little did we know that on a Saturday in May, the public skate session is not popular, so it was our whole party plus two strangers ON THE WHOLE RINK! It's like we rented the place out for ourselves! Awesome. I made her birthday cake, which was modeled off of OPI brand nail polish. It had red velvet and yellow cake inside.
 It was pretty nice outside, which make the rink much less chilly. We were all there in t-shirts!
 Aunt Erin brought Claire for her first skating experience.  Her skates were so tiny!
 Hyltin, David, Addie and Liam, all in first grade together.
 Addie really wanted me to take a picture of her doing something amazing. 'Nuff said.
 Muddy even made it out on the ice for a few laps!
 Aunt Kim had a blast too!
 Uncle Scott and Teb had fun.
 There was a lot of this going on, but honestly, kids learn so quickly.  By the end of the day, they were zipping around like pros.
 All of the kids.  All of their parents got to skate too, which was really fun.
Overall, it was a great party. Addie had a blast and so did her friends.

That party was a lot of fun! I couldn't believe how well Addie and Ben were doing. The lessons really paid off for both of them.
love,
Uncle Teb

That looks like so much fun! Love that cake!

I'm embarressed: I have yet to put my boys on ice skates! They're missing out!

Happy Belated, Addie!!!
