Family Day Fun!

Activity at our house seems to never stop! We had a wonderful Family Day long weekend filled with celebrations, family, friends, food and a whole lot of fun! Since the girls' birthday is so close to the long weekend, we held a skating party for them for both adults and kids. It was a fantastic party! Both girls were very excited and so proud to be turning six.
The girls had some school friends, a few family friends and some close family at the party. Even Nan, Ray, Sarah and Danny came out - Uncle Danny even got on the ice for a short time, and stood up momentarily too! The girls had so much fun playing hockey with their Daddy and scoring tons of goals. I think we may have hockey players with pink laces in our future!
Cousins Sierra and Kristian came from out of town for the birthday party and stayed over for two nights. Our kids always love seeing their cousins and we try to spend as much time with them as we can. I lived far away from most of my cousins growing up, so I'm glad to have family reasonably close by so that the kids can spend as much time together as possible.
On the Monday holiday, more cousins came to visit and the girls had a fantastic time playing dress up while the boys pulled out tons of trucks! It sure rounded out the weekend nicely. We went out for dinner together and everyone had a great time. With 13 of us, 8 being kids, our waitress was a bit overwhelmed at times, but she held it together reasonably well!

So as you can see, we crammed a lot into the weekend, but I also managed to scrap a tiny bit. Look for more Scrapalicious layouts, coming very soon!
