Disney on Ice

WOW! We have had a busy few days. Wednesday Maddox, Eric, and I met our friends Nash and Nolan and their mom and dad, Megan and Jason, and Megan's sister Whitney, her boyfriend Evan, and Megan's mom Peg ( phew) at the IWireless center for Disney on Ice. It was a great show....although both Nolan and Maddox could have probably been entertained with just the first half. I think Maddox was so tired she knew she had to keep herself moving to stay awake. She would jump from lap to lap moving down the row to anyone who was willing to hold her. She loved the show though, clapped and yelled out at the characters. There was a lot to see and a lot of movement which kept her entertained. I was only slightly disappointed that they didn't play the "Hot Diggity Dog" song at the end of the show. Thanks for inviting us Megan! Then Thursday evening we had The Planning Center's open house. Maddox ( and I) had a new dress to wear. We got all dressed up and went over to meet many of Eric's clients. Maddox had a great time exploring the office and showing off for the many people that were entertained by her. Grammy Marti and Grandpa Dick came over for the open house too....another available set of hands to manage Maddox...than you! We had a good time. Then last night Eric and I went out to The Planning Center's Christmas party at the Outting Club in Davenport. Maddox stayed with one of our sitters Jen. Jen said she was good but threw a little fight when it was time for bed so she 'HAD' to rock her....you little stinker Maddox....we haven't rocked you to sleep since you were like 3 months old!! Needless to say Jen loved rocking her. Her boys are both in their 20's, I think, so it has been a while since she was able to rock a little one. We are very thankful to have a handful of great sitters so Eric and I can get a break. It is beautiful here. It looks like we got about 5 inches, sitting here looking out at the grill....which I think is a little more than they predicted.....and it is still snowing. I am anxious to take Maddox out after her AM nap to see what she thinks of the snow. Eric has a client appointment late AM so it will be a perfect opportunity for Maddox and I to do a little playing. However, I just realized yesterday we really don't have any snow boots for her. We have a great snowsuit, hat and gloves...but no boots. I think we'll just go with baggies on her legs and her heaviest pair of tennies. Something tells me we won't be out for long. I"ll try to get some shots of her exploring the snow. Check out in one of the Disney pictures Nash ( 2.5years old) has his arm around his little brother Nolan ( 1 year old)...... I hope Maddox and Baby Kies have the same kind of relationship. So cute. I'll post snow pictures hopefully later this weekend.
