My Girls: Twice The Fun: weekend fun

Last weekend was really fun! On Saturday morning, we went to my nephew Alex's hockey game near our house. Even though he is only 9, we were so impressed at how well he and his team played! We had a great time watching him. My sister Terri was there as well with her two kids, so after the game, five of my nieces and nephews (Maya, Evan, Owen, William and Noelle) came over to our house to play for awhile. We walked over to the park near our house so the kids could play outside on such a nice day. They were having so much fun that my nephew Owen cried when it was time to leave!

On Saturday evening, my sister Terri and her family came back over to watch "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" (the first Star Wars movie made). Olivia and Violet had been wanting to watch Star Wars with Uncle Aaron since they knew he was such a big fan. During the movie, we had snacks such as Chewie's Cheese, Obi Wan Kabobies, Rebel Carrots, R2Dcorn, Wookie's Cookies and Vaderade. Olivia and Violet thought it was so fun!

Star Wars movie night

On Sunday afternoon Olivia, Violet and I went to "Disney on Ice: Frozen" at the Target Center. After we ate lunch, Olivia and Violet disappeared upstairs for awhile, then came down ready to go. They had put on their Elsa and Anna costumes that they wore for Halloween and had also put on lipstick and eyeshadow. A 7-year-old's makeup job is not necessarily the neatest...but I went with it! They were very proud of themselves and said they wanted to look just like Anna and Elsa.

Olivia and Violet brought their own money with to buy a treat. Violet decided on cotton candy right away, which came with a princess crown. Olivia debated for a little while as we walked around, but when she saw a box of Skittles at a concession stand she knew she had found the winner! I chuckled to myself because...among all of the Disney merchandise...she thought regular Skittles were the best treat!

The show itself was AWESOME! It was pretty true to the movie, but some parts were left out or slightly modified mainly due to the fact that it was on ice. Kristoff was the best skater, he did a few flips which the girls were pretty amazed by! They were also surprised at how Sven and Olaf could balance on ice skates. There were a lot of other characters that made appearances, such as Mickey, Minnie, Ariel, and Cinderella. It was a great show and we had a really fun time together! Love spending time with my girls so much!
