Chihuly & Ice Skating

A couple of Saturdays ago we went downtown and had some fun with my brother Joe and his son Harry. We started the day trying to take a family picture in the Oklahoma wind. It was blustery and this was the best shot we got.

We all piled into two cars, Joe got the boys, and headed to the ice skating rink. It wasn't opened yet so we walked to the art museum. We saw some really old and beautiful Venetian art and my favorite the Chihuly exhibit. Then it was on to ice skating. We made it once around the rink and then finished, but it was still a great experience.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Love THE VAUGHN Family

Uncle Joe, his son Harry, and Matt Boogie

all trying to get through the rotating door together.

They had some fun getting it done.

Chihuly Exhibit

one of my happy places

It makes me smile every time.

(This is a shot of the ceiling that

the boys are lying under a couple of pictures down.)

Matt getting tired of pictures

and being quiet in the museum.

Both boys did a great job!

Lying under the

ceiling of colorful glass.

This hallway is the coolest and

so very peaceful. It just makes you smile.

Matt with his Uncle Joe

and Cousin Harry. 2 of his

most favorite people.

Here AJ is lacing up Matt's

skates and lecturing me

on how dangerous ice skating is.

AJ: "You know I broke my arm ice skating?"

Me: "Yes. What were you doing when you broke arm though?"

AJ: "I was playing tag and horsing around."

Me: "Exactly! I don't think I'll be playing tag on the ice with our 3 year old honey."

This was Matt and I

most of the time.

Him on the ground with me

pulling him up.

Ever so often though

we would get into a nice flow

He isn't doing his

best Travolta impression

just trying to stay up.

unsuccessful though this time

Maybe next year the boys

will get the hang of skating.

Joe and Harry falling

And where is Colette while all

of this is going on...

All snuggled away in her

cute pinkness.

Sleeping and having

good dreams!
