We left Searcy on Sunday and headed to St. Louis for a few days and to celebrate New Year's Eve with Morgan's family and Lindsay. Monday we woke up and went ice skating. We had so much fun!!!! I had not ice skated since college I think and it was pretty funny. Eden had never been so it was her first time and she enjoyed it after getting the hang of it a bit. She struggled getting her balance at first but eventually did all right. On our last lap around the rink, Michael ended up falling and hurting his tailbone a bit. It wasn't broken (thank goodness) but was very sore and deeply bruised for a while. It definitely hurt him for several days and he didn't eat breakfast that morning so he almost passed out from the pain on the rink. Poor guy. We are so thankful it wasn't worse!!!!

This is how Harper and Camden spent the two hours we were there. We got ice-skates for Harper but she decided she didn't want to do it so we were thankful Jamie had brought in the double stroller for her to hang out in.
The kids giving their legs a break.
Ice-Skating, YAY!!!!
ZiZi and Eden making it look easy!
Jamie, Lindsay, and I went shopping one afternoon and Lindsay could not resist getting this leotard for Harper and she LOVED it!!!! Hilarious!!! She wore it several times over the days we were there.
Harper would sing and shake her hips in it. She had us all cracking up!!!!
FaceTiming with J. Pops and Mimi.
What is New Year's without fireworks or at least sparklers right?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Toasting sparkling cider and loving the mustache cups..
Trying to get a cute picture of the cousins on the stairs. Aren't they cute?
We had such a good time in St. Louis and it was so good spending time with Morgan, Jamie, J. David, Myles, Camden, and Lindsay. The kids played fantastically. J. David and Eden made I don't know how many rainbow loom bracelets for everyone those days and Harper and Myles are starting to play more together which is great for Harper. Myles was a little shocked that Harper was talking as much as she was, it was pretty funny. Jamie was such a trooper being pregnant and not feeling well and hosting us all. We can't wait to find out if they are adding more blue to the mix or if they are going to be surrounded by pink, pink, and more pink;)
On the drive home we stopped in Searcy for dinner with my parents. They had been cleaning out and dad ran across some rings and pictures from Panama. He used to go every year on medical mission trips and would always bring things home for us. He found some gold rings and gave them to the girls. He gave Eden a butterfly one and found the picture of the lady wearing it to give to her too. So sweet and special. Harper got a round gold ring that is so cute too.
