Ellie had an ice skating party at the local ice palace. So thankful for all the friends and family that were able to celebrate with us. 
























Finally after 6 months of hearing about Hatchimals - we are the proud owner of one!! I am not sure what it is or what it does but we were all captivated by the hatching.
