A Presidential President's Day Weekend

We had a rare opportunity to have a Daddy-Mommy-Nickolas Day, thanks to our dear friend Patricia.  She had a fun day with the girls while we went to the National Portrait Gallery for their Kid's President's Day celebration complete with the Washington Nationals' Racing Presidents.  Nickolas even received a Presidential Pardon from President Lincoln.  He loves his Presidents.

Recess At The Rink

The Kettler Capitals Iceplex, where the kids have their skating lessons, sometimes has a "Recess At The Rink".  We finally went and this time, it was ON the Capitals practice ice right after they practiced (versus the other rink at the facility).  Nickolas has skated on this ice for Mini Mites, but it was mommy's first time on the fancy ice.  While there, they had hockey sticks and stuff animals to play with.

Olympics 2014

We're wild about the Olympics.  It was exciting to hear the Olympic team named for Ski Jumping.  The  team got named and we celebrated with a poster and sent it to a friend.  Later, in the mail, the kids got a few autographs from REAL Olympians!

Play Dates

Various winter pics.  We had a few "snow" days in January and utilized it to play with friends.
