On Thin Ice

 

I had such a good time yesterday. It was the 4 year old Grand's birthday and Daughter had it at the ice rink she works at. 



It was the same rink where I used to do a lot of this. I always got to play the witches on the Theater on Ice team's productions.




I had quite the touch of nostalgia walking through those doors again. I used to haul giant pieces of scenery in and out every Sunday night for rehearsals. I'm glad that the torch is being passed. 4 year old Grand loves skating as does.....



...1 year old Grand. The Very Big Grands were there too so I got to do a few laps around the rink with them as well. 



Right before Christmas I had made the invitations from a stamp set Daughter found online at Trinity Stamps and....




...she had a big banner and....




... a cake made to match. I'm amazed at how they can do this. I should say that the birthday Grand's name is not GMHER. It's what Google Photo's AI came up with when I asked it to erase the real name. I suppose there are a lot of good uses for AI but anything that needs to make sense is not one of them.

    You guys start them skating young! I am far removed from the young kid's birthday loop, and it's also amazing to me that they can make everything match. It's a far cry from my homemade pirate or animal birthday parties.

    That looks like such a fun, fun day! I love the invitations and banner and cake all matching. And 1 year grand on skates? That's crazy! I can barely walk. Ha! The photo of you as a witch is priceless. I can see where the love of skating comes from. Wish I could have seen you back in those days skating with all of the kids.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

    What fun! I so glad you brushed the dust off your skates and had a good spin! The decorations, etc, are beautiful!

    What a fun birthday! I ice skated a bit as a teen but boy I sure couldn't do it now. Good for you for taking a spin.
