The 25 Days of Christopher- Day 20

I wasn't able to post last night, but for a good reason!

Guess who got engaged?!?!?!
We were so excited. We all like Sara so much and were just waiting for him to ask her!
 
We surprised Sara by being back at their house after Anthony's birthday dinner to celebrate their engagment. Sara's best friends and our family was there waiting for them to come home. Christopher was a great hider. He played around with his "little Buzz" and "Bumblebee." At the end of the night I was trying to get his toys all cleaned up and I couldn't find Bumblebee. I finally found him... standing guard next to baby Jesus in Sara's nativity.  We took Christopher's Mickey jammies and he was dressed and ready for bed before we left. I think for a second when I told him to get his jammies on he thought we were staying the night. By the time we got home it was after 10 and everyone was ready for bed! So here I am posting for yesterday!
 
We had a super busy day yesterday! Christopher's Citrus Lane box had arrrived Friday but no one noticed until after we put Christopher to bed. He got to start the day off by opening his box!
 
He got this Pizza Making Set that came with order forms! He was busy making pizzas for awhile.

It also came with this great Melissa and Doug transportation stamp kit. Christopher has never used stamps before (as far as I know) and he was loving it! We took this to Sara and Anthony's and it kept him busy while we were waiting for their arrival.
 
And then our day finally began.... errand running.
 
First, a trip to the bank...

and then a trip to Home Depot to see where Handy Manny works.
 
A short while later, we headed to downtown Acworth for our Saturday lunch at Miss L's.
Today there was a train going by as we got there and a train going by as we left.
 
But the highlight of the day was finally making it ice skating.
 
That is a man on a mission. He was so excited to get his skates on. We told him we were going on the way there and he said "I need my hockey stick!" He is going to flip out when he sees all the hockey stuff his uncle got him for Christmas.

Christopher walked right on out to the ice. Of course, he had absolutely no idea that it was different than just walking. But he did such a good job. Thankfully, Matt is a good skater and mom is as well. They were able to steer him around.
 
Normally it was the three of them holding on to one another, but Christopher's skate tripped up mom and she went down at one point. Matt left her to crawl to the side of the rink by herself. Great son-in-law.
 
There they are all together!

Posing for a picture!

Cammy went with us to help out with Christopher too.
She is also a good skater.
I tried to hold Christopher's hand while skating. It lasted all of like 10 seconds and then he wiggled his way out of my hand to ask for Nana's. Probably a smart move. I am NOT a good skater.
 
Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas starts out with an ice skating scene of Minnie and Daisy in a competition with each other. Matt said Christopher kept wanting to "fall like Minnie" while he was out there. Matt let him go down once and then he started making snow angels on the ice. Christopher was very happy about that!

I am sure we will be going back again.
Sara told us last night she can skate, so we have another hand holder.
 
And this was on the way home from dropping off Nana and Granddaddy. C slept for 2 hours and I am pretty sure would have kept going but we had to wake him up to go surprise Sara.
 
You know Christopher couldn't go to their house without getting in the dog cage.

Goodbye hugs with Uncle!
 
We did not have a chance to open a book last night, so we let Christopher open his book this morning. It is only fitting that he opened the book that Sara's mom gave him last year.
 
 
And my two favorite daycare pics of the week....
 
Lighted candy canes.

Reading with Luke.
A Very Mater Christmas.
 
That's it!! Enjoy your Sunday.
Be kind.
