Happy Birthday Steve!

Steve was off work on his birthday!!  YEA!!!  That meant he got to go

 ROLLER SKATING with me and the kids....for his birthday!

Roller Skating is the kids' new FUN thing to do!  (This was only our 2nd time--but they

 LOVE IT!)  The boys are asking for Roller blades for Christmas---which means we'll be coming back after Christmas too (if they get them!!!)

This was the first time Paige used "Big girl" skates (instead of the kind that go over your shoes!)  She spent A LOT of time on the floor!  Her bottom was LITERALLY sore after 3 hours of skating!  AND---she got a hold in the knee her new pink leggings.  I'd say she fell a lot if she got a HOLE in her pants!!! 

She's HOT and SWEATY!!!

She has probably NEVER been physically active for 3 hours straight....in her life!

 It was lunch with Santa and skating....

this is why we went!!!

AND---we almost didn't even SEE Santa!  He was on his way out the door and I literally stopped him and asked him to come back for one more picture....

and then we had to wait for Paige get out of the bathroom!!!

I was able to get some GREAT pictures of the BIRTHDAY BOY!!!!

Happy Birthday Steve!!!!

**In case you were worried---Steve did get a proper birthday celebration!  Steve's parents took us all to the K State basketball game and a weekend in KC for Steve (and his sister's ) birthdays!  This is the 2nd year for this FUN trip!  It's a great birthday present---Steve loves it!

And, next year.....He'll be 40!!!!!!
