I was lucky enough to be able to see my great grandmother a couple weeks after Christmas... 5 generations in one room! My great grandmother (Mimi), my grandpa (Papa), my mom, me and Maddy and Sarah. Sadly my great grandmother passed away just 2 weeks after this picture was taken. I am so glad she got to see her great great granddaughters before she left us. Maddy and Sarah were just two of her 8 great great grandchildren with two more on the way. What a wonderful woman! 
Gotta love Myrtle Beach! This was their lame attempt to bring Ice Skating to our great city. For just $7 you could rent your own skates and skate on this wonderful rink of.... plastic. Yup thats right, plastic with this slime of a substance to give you the illusion of ice, and make you slip and fall and feel as though you had landed on ice, but not skate as though you were ON ice!! It was next to impossible to skate on. Luckily my parents got a bunch of free tickets and we all went together. Maddy didn't really enjoy it, everytime Joseph got her on the "ice" she would scream that she needed a rest. Then when he got her back to me she'd say that she was ready to skate. This vicious cycle repeated many times over until we decided to call it a day. Do you know what Maddy's favorite part was? The snowflake stamp they gave her at the beginning so if she left she could return and skate some more. In fact she asked me just the other day where her snowflake stamp went... and we went "ice skating" the saturday after Christmas!
Joseph, Maddy, and my brother Ryan
Maddy expressing her enjoyment... or lack there of! At the end of the day I am so glad we got in for free... it would have been the biggest waste of $7. Nice try Myrtle Beach... lets just stick to what we know... the opposite of snow and ice!!
Maddy has converted Sarah to the joys of the laundry basket. It is not just for laundry, it is a great daddy daughter bonding activity!! And great exercise too! Joseph pulls them all over the house with their baby dolls. "Baby walmart" is riding upside down.. all you see is her feet!
Maddy eating her favorite candy ever... Hershey's Bliss!
I just love this picture! Sarah having a good time eating her eggs...
