After five seconds on the skates. Stepdad resting in the cool breeze in the background.

The skates in action. I have to keep reminding myself to bend my knees and lean forward.

I did notice a few people looking at me. And I think one person took a photo. At least I didn't fall over. Haven't fallen over in these yet.

Having a quick rest.

On the way back. Rolling along.

More pictures to come.

MERRY
CHRISTMAS

Birthday Girls

Yesterday was Mojo's FIRST birthday!!!!

I still let all the liluns sleep in otherwise they'd all be complaining and tired.

Mojo got her two handmade cards in the morning.

Slipped on her little headband with the pink bow and had a wonderful day.

She does seem a little bigger.

When Grammie got home, Mojo had another pressie. A little pink box. But it's too small for her to fit in. I need to find something cute for her to keep inside.

Then today, it's my birthday. I'm old! :(

But then I just think that my brother's are even older! :)

My skates haven't arrived from America yet, but I have a bunch of cards. Two posted from UK, one posted from NZ.

A cute Mickey Mouse tee

A watch - non digital it's gonna take me a while to figure it out.

A total of $30.80NZD

Couple notebooks/journal

A pack of Jack Daniels Chocolates!!!!!

Okay, run out of things to say.
